Hi All, I have two questions, but first I am using wine 20040615, on Mandrake 10.0 Community 1. I have two programs previously installed under Windows that I have just made desktop icons for in Mandrake to run them under WINE. I did this as I am dual booting the system currently rather than install them under WINE. Both are for video editing/encoding. TMPEG Encoder and DVD Author. They load and run without error. However when I go to the dialogue box to browse for the AVI to load I can only see drive C and D. I have partitions labelled C through J. I tried creating symlinks in the dosdrives directory, but I cannot view content of any of the new drives I have added. Obviously I've done something wrong (this is my first serious foray into WINE) but I don't know what. 2. Trying to install a program using WINE as below: [root@natalie root]# wine /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects The Install Shield program hung with the above line repeatedly scrolled. Is this something I did wrong or would it be fixed by updating to the latest WINE? Kind regards, Julian
Julian, I am only guessing here. Do you have on older config file? Perhaps it is defining some drives that are in conflict with your dosdrives links? If so delete them from the config file and possibly rebuild your links in .wine/dosdrives and then restart your Windows application. As I say, this is a total guess and most probably wrong. Good luck, Mark On Sat, 27 Nov 2004 13:32:29 +0000, Julian Hall <wine@kaotic.co.uk> wrote:> Hi All, > > I have two questions, but first I am using wine 20040615, on Mandrake > 10.0 Community > > 1.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply. This is a clean install of WINE on a system which has never had it installed before. Thanks for the idea though :) Kind regards, Julian Mark Knecht wrote:>Julian, > I am only guessing here. Do you have on older config file?

For InstallShield try installing native DCOM first, eg WINEDLLOVERRIDES=ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n wine dcom98.exe WINEDLLOVERRIDES=ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n wine setup.exe thanks -0mike
