wine users - Sep 2006 - Help installing terminal client for MV/Pick Systems DB

Hi-

I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.  I have installed Wine version 9.9.  This
is my first attempt with Wine so please be kind...

I have successfully gotten into Win Explorer and verified that the Wine
environment is working.

I'm trying to install a MVTerm client for our MVBase database ( A Pick
Systems variant at www.rainingdata.com).  This particular application is
desirable because it uses a unique variant on the Telnet protocol that
is licensed differently by the server.

When I first installed I found I needed the mfc40.dll present.  After
installing the Dll I'm now stuck with no obvious direction to look.

The Console Output indicates the following:
        bmattes@bsi430:~$ wine z:\\home\\bmattes\\Desktop\\MVAcct\
        \mvterm.exe
        __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 - succeeded
        fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceA ((null),"mvBASE"): stub
        fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW (L"",L"mvBASE"):
stub
        fixme:advapi:ReportEventA

stub
        fixme:advapi:ReportEventW
       
(0xcafe4242,0x0001,0x0004,0x80000071,(nil),0x0007,0x00000000,0x7fd69630,(nil)):
stub
        err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"mvworkst.dll"
        err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"0085"
        err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"protege.c"
        err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"356"
        err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"6"
        err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"\\\\192.168.1.198"
        err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"-1"
        fixme:advapi:DeregisterEventSource (0xcafe4242) stub
        
The Application window never comes up and to terminate I must Ctrl-C.

I feel a dolt for not having more to go on.  This is a simple
application with 4 files required to install.

Thanks in advance,
Bryan Mattes

The "fixmes" are normal, they're a developer hint that a few
things
are missing that this application would like to use.  Running the
application without a console, or with standard output sent to
/dev/null, will get rid of those, as will turning them off via the
WINEDEBUG environment variable.

Odd.  Usually developers will leave, if not a detailed, then at least
a hint in the "err" message as to what the error is about.  Since
that's missing, it's hard to tell what the heck the above is supposed
to mean.

I guess you'll find that the output which the application tries to
write into the NT event log won't be found anywhere, except in the
above :-).
> The Application window never comes up and to terminate I must Ctrl-C.
Ok.  The console output you've provided gives no direct answer as to
why that is the case, but it does seem that the application can't find
or load "mvworkst.dll".  Does that file exist in your
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 or application folder?

Hint:
You can enable more debug channels with the WINEDEBUG environment
variable, fx. +win might be relevant in your case.

The Wine User Guide has a list of WINEDEBUG channels, but the WUG is
impossible to find via Google, probably because it was manually
excluded for the longest time.  The CodeWeavers reference is findable
by googling for "WINEDEBUG", though.

I'm sure Bryan meant 0.9.9.

Really, Molle, there's no need to be rude to beginners.

Don't worry, Bryan -- it's not your fault!  Wine just doesn't work
cleanly
for most programs yet.   Apps that have free trial downloads are
a lot easier for us to fix, since they let us reproduce the problem.
Is there a trial download of your app?  Also, you might try your app
on wine-0.9.21, which is rather newer.

Comes up for me just fine on google.  Molle, you might want to switch
to decaf.  There are many fine brands available.

If you are talking about wine version 0.9.9, make sure to update it before
asking for support.
The current wine version is 0.9.22.

Happy wineing.

Cool, good to know that it works for you now ;-).
