wine users - May 2003 - C4D Network client

Hello everybody,

it looks like over the years a bunch of people had problems with this.
So did I. Just for the sake for others in the same situation (and for
Google) here's a little description:

The effect is that the client aborts with a message "Internal Error:
String Resource not found!". The log shows an interesting call:

000b:Call kernel32.FindFirstFileA(429c2588
"C4D_Client.exe\\resource\\*.*",429c2988) ret=009f272e
000b:Ret  kernel32.FindFirstFileA() retval=ffffffff ret=009f272e
000b:Call kernel32.FindFirstFileA(429c25d8
"C4D_Client.exe\\clientprefs\\c4d_language.prf",429c29d8) ret=009f18f2
000b:Ret  kernel32.FindFirstFileA() retval=ffffffff ret=009f18f2
000b:Call user32.MessageBoxA(00000000,429c2710 "Internal Error: String
Resource not found!",00ab7068 "CINEMA 4D",00000000) ret=009f81bf

Using the executable as a directory might work on OSX, but definitely
not on Windows. The solution is pretty simple: you have to call it with
a name that has a \ in it. Just '.\C4D_Client.exe' works fine.

But to make this post on-topic again: I can't stop it using the menu, it
just hangs. Any hints on how to diagnose this kind of problem? It's not
critical, kill -INT works fine, but is not a nice solution.

Yours

	Dirk

Does it work for you then? I stumbled over those two problems you
mention too, which are, as you note, either easy to solve or not critical.
However, what I didn't manage to solve was that the client wouldn't send
back the results to the server.
