wine users - May 2008 - LinkWord Language Learing Software W/ ActiveX error

Hi all,

   I am new to Wine and Linux. I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 with Wine
1.0-rc2 on an old Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop.
   For the last couple of days, I have been trying to get my Linkword language
learning software to work on my laptop (Rosetta Stone seems like a lost cause at
this point).
   A little about this program, it is a "stand alone" type program,
and by that I mean you don't have to install anything. You can just throw in
the CD-Rom and click on the *.exe file and off you go. Also, you can copy the
whole CD to your HDD and click on the *.exe and it works flawlessly (at least on
a windoze machine). Currently, I have copied the CD-Rom to my hard disk drive.
When I run it in, all of the instruction screens appear and work fine, but when
you click on the final "next" to start the actual program, I get a pop
up with the following error:

Run-time error - '429':
ActiveX component can't create object

When I ran it from the terminal, this is what I get for the output:

john at Buntu-Box:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Greek$ wine Lw24.exe
fixme:ole:OleLoadPictureEx
(0xa5e284,7366,0,{7bf80980-bf32-101a-8bbb-00aa00300cab},x=0,y=0,f=0,0x32fae8),
partially implemented.
fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_SaveAsFile (0x127a60)->(0x12cc20, 0, (nil)), hacked
stub.
john at Buntu-Box:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Greek$
fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosErrorNoTeb no mapping for 8000000a
john at Buntu-Box:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Greek$ 

I have no idea what this means, so any help that anyone can provide would
greatly be appreciated!

Thanks,

John

Where can I get the ole32 package? It is not on the package list when I run
winetricks.

Then one you want is "dcom98".

Tell winetricks to install dcom98. This will install native ole32, oleaut32, and
rpcrt4 and set the overrides. The overrides will apply to any other program
installed in the same wineprefix, so there is a risk it will mess up another
program that's working fine without them. (That can be fixed in
winecfg--just be aware you might have to do it.)
