Hello Everybody,
I'm pleased with the progress of the wine project, it's been nice to
move most of my work applications into Linux, and avoid using Windows
all together. I am currently facing problems with an application called
Kiwi CatTools (http://www.kiwisyslog.com). This application is a
Network Management System that automates configuration archiving,
mass-configuration pushing/pulling, and various other everyday functions
of a Network Technician. When I try to run it under wine, configured as
WinXP, setup using winetools, with all of the necessary components
installed for a functional windows system, with the following command:
setarch i386 wine CatTools.exe
I get this error:
"Could not complete DB startup. Check the infolog for details. Please
shut down CatTools and try again after fixing the problem."
WINEDEBUG="loaddll" reveals the following dlls being called:
msjet40.dll
MSJINT40.DLL
msjter40.dll
msjetoledb40.dll
WBAJET32.DLL
expsrv.dll
So, from what I can gather, this application uses a Microsoft Jet
Database to store it's device information etc. Can anybody suggest some
tweaks I might try to get this running properly? I'm either going to
use wine or VMWare, but I'd rather use wine for efficiency sake. I've
researched and tried numerous dll overrides, to no avail. My company
purchased the licenses for this just before I made the platform switch,
so I'd like to stick with the tool if possible, and I have yet to find
an equivolent application native in Linux. Thanks for any and all help,
I'll happily provide whatever information I need to.
Happy New Years!
Mike.
P.S.
Distribution: Fedora Core 4
Architecture: i686

Cattools definitely finds problems in Wine! After I fixed one minor bug, I got the same error message you did. I filed a bug report; see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4232 Dunno how long it'll be before Wine can run Cattools, with or without Winetools. Wish I had better news. But thanks very much for the problem report! - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Thanks to AF for looking at this old bug report and tracking down the prereqs. - Dan
