The latest version of Password Safe was compiled with a new version of Visual Studio: VC8.0. The program continues to install and run fine, but when it attempts to write it's configuration file at exit, Wine/Windows pops up a dialog window titled "Password Safe" with the text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Unable to use a XML reader on your system. Neither MS XML V3, V4 or V6 seems available." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- And after I click OK, Wine puts up: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Runtime error! Program: C\Program Files\Password Safe\pwsafe.exe abnormal program termination Press OK to exit the program, or Cancel to start the Wine debugger." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- What do I need to install so the program will have XML support? --

If you compiled wie yourself, make sure libxml2-dev is available. If you are using a prepackaged version support should be included, maybe you need to install libxml2 then.

I downloaded Password Safe from http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ and tried. Same problem here, but I do not think your diagnosis is right. The program says that it wants to use MS XML V3, V4 or V6. msxml is what the XML component in windows is called, and MS XML V3 should work. I consider this a bug, you should report it to bugzilla. Please attach a WINEDEBUG=+msxml trace to the report. Daniel -- Before you post: Read the Wine User Guide http://winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/index When you post: Which wine version?

I pasted the Wine Debugger output to the end of the description. Thanks much for all your help, Daniel. Especially for taking time to download and test Password Safe. I highly recommend it, by the way. So I hope we can get this sorted. Jim Showalter --
