I have installed a helpdesk client on my office PC under wine. I get the following error during running: --------------------- The following components are either not present on this machine or have an incorrect version number: Microsoft ADO DB (Minimal required version: 2.1) Please try to correct this problem before starting the application. ---------------------- The application installed without any error. From the above error, it appears that its fairly old app and does not require any fancy XP/Vista library. However, I am stuck with the above and have one of the two options (both undesirable): 1. Use the web client -- which is very scanty in features and nigh unusable. 2. Boot into windows partition Regards.

Thanks! That worked like a charm and I can start the application -- almost. Just before I get the full application opened, I get the following error: com.ms.com.ComFailException: Invalid index value passed in When I click 'Ok', the application closes. There is no addition error message in the shell from where I started the app. Regards, Kanwar
No that did not help. In fact, the app does not even start up now and I get some long list of errors and unhandled exceptions. So is this a bug?
I removed dcom98 and ran the app again. Only once I got the following error after the ComFailException one ... java.lang.NullPointerException at java/io/File.<init> at com/hp/ifc/util/AppLog.setLogFile ... Don't know if this will help. As for giving the application, I don't know about that (yet). Besides, the error occurs after I enter my username/password and the server to login to. Would it be possible to debug/trace the program without the login details? BTW, I don't reach the point of failure if I give incorrect login details.
How do I go about tracing/debugging the program? What tools will I need to have access to?
I have generated the logfile as you suggested. However, I haven't found anything suspicious in it -- or its just that I don't know how and where to look. Can I upload the file somewhere for you (or a wine dev) to look at it?
