wine users - Jul 2005 - Origin 7.5 and wine

Hello.

I've been trying to install registered Origin 7.5 on wine, using both the 
default build for SuSE 9.3 and the newest rpm from sourceforge.

The installation proceeds flawlessly, everything seems to be fine. The 
installer finds proper user/institution registration fields. Unfortunatelly, 
when I start Origin for the first time, the registration window pops up. All 
the information stored in this window is broken (I mean, the key, the 
username the institution). Therefore, even if I enter the proper activation 
key it is not accepted.

I may provide screenshot if someone is interested.

Is there any way to register Origin 7.5 (I have the licence) with wine? Or am 
I forced to use old origin 6.0 (which works with wine with smaller (below 
2MB) worksheets without any issue).

Regards,
Michal Schulz.

A screenshot may help less then a good excerpt from relay log, showing what
orogin 7 tries to do and what wine fails to deliver. 

It may help to run wine with the appropriate native dlls that deliver the
needed functionality. 

However for both task some knowledge around wine and windows is needed.

For the relay log to be less mess, add e.g. in user.reg
[Software\\Wine\\debug] 1121071282
"RelayExclude"="RtlEnterCriticalSection;RtlLeaveCriticalSection;\
_EnterSysLevel;_LeaveSysLevel;_CheckNotSysLevel;gdi32.*;winex11.drv.*;ntdll.*"

To see what dlls are loaded, tru WINEDEBUG=+loaddll

Hope this helps a little
