wine users - Nov 2001 - Cannot install/run very important application

Hello everybody!

I've got a big problem: In my small business I use a Home-banking
software which I got
from my bank. Using it for many years now, it became very very important
for me.
Needless to say, it's a Windows software. Up to now, it was a Win 3.1
software which ran inside the Windows-Box of my ancient OS/2-PC. (The
only reason
why I still have this PC runnig OS/2).

This summer I got the new version which is a WIN-98 (I think). So I
cannot use it
on OS/2. I tried to install it under Wine on SuSE Linux 7.2 but it
didn't work. Another
difference between old an new is, that the old one does a direct
communictation
to the bank's computer via Modem, the new one uses the internet. The
modem access
will be revoked with 1st December so time is running out.

Yesterday I downloaded wine 20011108 and tried it but I have still the
same problem:

The installation starts, I click through some info-screens but when the
actual
installation-process begins, a message box pops up. Title: "Visual Basic
6.0"
Text: "Ung?ltiges Bild" ('invalid picture' in english).

I asked a friend to install it on his windows machine and then just send
me the
installed files. BUt when I tried to start the banking application the
same
message box pops up again.

So is ther anybody out ther who can help me? Which debugmessages shall
turn on? Maybe it's just a problem with some builtin/native DLLs...

Hello,

run the program with --debugmsg +relay and redirect the stderr into a file. 
When the program finished open the file. Search for a line like

0806edb0:Call user32.MessageBoxA(00010021,005cf4cc "Fehler 118: Falsche 
Programmversion",005cf4c4 "Fehler",00000000) ret=0043663e

Of course you will have different texts in your file, also the numbers will 
be different. Try to understand what happend (failed) before the line. 
Normal the problem should be inside the last 200 line before the call to 
the messagebox function.

Have you tried it using Odin, the OS/2 
equivalent/semi-port of WINE?

It seems, the installation is looking for Internet Explorer. There comes IE
5.5
with that program so I tried to install IE. But with that installation, a
messa
ge box
pops up saying "NT4 service pack 3 oder h?her muss installiert sein bevor
windows update fortgesetzt werden kann".

Hmmm ....

First, like David Jones already pointed out, you should definitely check out
Odin.
And second, I think that "invalid picture" might be caused by missing
OLE* DLL functionality (particularly: OLEAUT32).
Try to use several combinations of native OLE DLLs.

Hello,

pipe the content of the attached file through ~wine/programs/regapi. This 
will fix the service pack error.

P.S. i am still unable to install IE, good luck!

I know it's not really a wine theme, but why not using "Moneyplex for
Linux". This is a true Linux application and the beta is freely
available from www.matrica.de. The current version works very well and
if You are migrating from OS/2 You'll might know the problem.
Sorry for being slightly off topic,
Sven
