wine users - Apr 2004 - Problems with Autoroute Express 2003

Hello

Sorry for sending this mail to maillinglist and newsgroup, but I want be
shure, that as much as possible wine-users are reading this an perhaps
someone has a clou for me.

I am very new to wine, but tried nearly everything to get MS Autroute
Express 2003 to run.
(I need this Program for work, have to drive much and afaik it is the only
map program, which can zoom to city maps for even for  the smallest
villages.

First I tried to install the program with wine (wine setup.exe) but it
didn't work, some mysterious errormessage and quit.

Then I copied the installed folder from a windows-computer to my notebook(of
course into my virtual c drive) and tried again hmmm now i got the
errormessage from wine, that some dlls where missing.
No problem, I thought. copied the DLLs to the right folder, changed the path
in the wincfg and FINALY.........

It didn't work:-)
Now I got the errormessage (a WindowsMSG Box ), that the program was not
correctly installed, so the registry entrys were missing.
I copied every registry key, which had something to do with autoroute,
from the WindowsPC, and tried again...
And again... the thing won't work... But no DLLs were missing, no wine
error... simply this message...
Has someone a clou, how I can get rid of this?

THX

If you can't get more specific help, have a look at

Ivan.

With respect to install issues, as a general rule, I start with a fresh,
known functional wine install (latest version usually) with a fake win dir.
Then I install msi (InstalMsiA.exe) and then install the application of
interest.  It usually works thru install.  App functionality will based on
watching wine(dbg) feedback in a console to find out if native or builtin
dll's are best (somewhat trial and error) and if any API's are called
that
are not yet fully implemented.

Hope this helps
