wine users - Aug 2004 - Dreamweaver MX encountered a fatal exception

Hi there

I'm trying to get Dreamweaver to run. I've installed it according to the
instructions at Frank's Corner.

My stats: Linux Mandrake 9.2 (kernel 2.4.22), and wine20040716. my
fake_windows directory is a native FAT32 format. I am emulating Windows ME.

When I type "wine Dreamweaver.exe", wine starts and Dreamweaver begins
to
load, showing the splash screen. After about 2 or 3 minutes, a pop up
windows comes up with the error: "Dreamweaver encountered a fatal
exception.
Dreamweaver will now terminate. [OK]". Wine dies when i click OK.

The terminal does not show any error messages.

The stranger thing is that my fake_windows drive is shared through samba: I
can access it with a Windows 98 machine. If I browse to the executable on my
fake_windows drive with my Win98 machine, I can run dreamweaver fine. (the
only thing is that my Win98 machine has 32 MB of RAM, so it takes forever to
do anything). So the install seems to be fine: It's just running it
that's
the problem.

I am interested if anyone with Mandrake 9.2 has been able to get Dreamweaver
MX working and if so, what wine version you have and your config file if
possible. I really want this to work.

Thanks :)

If memory serves me right, the WinME emulation mode is still vastly
incomplete, and hardly usable.

If the fake_windows is W98, can't you just run Dreamweaver under W98
emulation mode?  Wouldn't that make more sense?  W98 mode works much
better than W-ME in terms of completion and function, I believe.

Some of the older Win OS emulations are more complete than newer ones -
XP mode's TCP/IP stack didn't work when I tried it, whereas the 98 mode
stack did.  Maybe using emulation of an older supported Windows version
would help.

You may also want to look at the August release of Wine, if you can get
it to compile.  Good luck.

Hope I helped.

I suggest you run dreamweaver with some debug channels enabled, maybe starting 
with:
WINEDEBUG=+loaddll,+dll wine Dreamweaver.exe

this should produce some output on your terminal. please mail this to the 
list.

when you run your dreamweaver from a real win install, it uses the program 
file in your dreamweaver directory but the system files of your real win 
install. that means, in wine there could be some problems with files that are 
usually installed in the win/win system dir (e.i. DCOM).

BTW: did you install any native dlls?
