I am a new wine user. I downloaded the darwin wine implementation for mac OS X ver 1.1.7 (http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/) and installed on my computer. I run the wine helper application and tried to open some of the sample applications that came with it. No matter what I try to open from the sample windows application folder that came with the program I get the same error message:err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting Any ideas what might be causing it? My goal is to install vector NTI on my mac (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6829). When I open the installer for this program I get the same error message, so I guess there is something wrong with my darwin and/or wine and need to fix this first.

Which version of X11 do you have installed? It is recommended that you install X11 from Apple (this is installed by default on a system that came with MacOSX 10.5 [Leopard] installed on it) and then install XQuartz from the MacOSXForge. I recommend installing at least 2.3.1 or higher. Please note that you will have to re-install it if you install any MacOSX updates. Leopard is now at release 5 (10.5.5) and there are several security updates that are available. If these suggestions do not correct the problem, please advise Mike on his web page that you are having problems. Darwine is not supported by the main Wine program, but some of us out here provide help to struggling Mac users, of which I am one of them. Thank you.
Thanks for your reply. I have a macbook pro (intel) and the latest os with all software updates. I installed X11 from apple DVD and then downloaded the XQuartz from here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.3.1 I am trying to install it, but the installation is stuck at "configuring installation" for more than 30 minutes now... Any ideas?
I am having the same issue. I am running os x 10.5.5 with XQuartz 2.3.1 and Darwine 1.1.7. (I also tried 1.0.1 with same issues) The installers both ran successfully, but I am not able to run any of the Sample WinLib Applications. They all crash with various error log messages, but all have this in common: err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting here's the full log message: err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\Applications\\Darwine\\Sample WineLib Applications\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000005 I get the same message for notepad.exe and the others as well. Any ideas? As I said, I tried darwine 1.0.1 as well.

I'm going to install both Mike Kronenberg's and Zach Drayer's releases to see if I can recreate this problem. If I can, I will submit a bug report to the respective creator. winks are not necessary here. We all want to improve Wine and Darwine. Thank you. James McKenzie
Thanks James, I tried the other release and it worked for me. Appreciate your help!

I found that the previous version did not work as well. It may be that Mike is doing something that Zach is not and the problem may not be Wine or the method used to create Darwine but possibly the way that XQuartz interfaces with the program. Mike may have found a workaround and Zach is unaware of it. I expect Zach to fine and implement a fix, hopefully before the release of Wine 1.1.8. James McKenzie
Thanks, switching to Mike's 1.1.7 build fixed the problem for me as well.
Having installed the 1.0.1 release originally and experiencing the error, I tried installing 1.1.7. Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue for me. I receive the same error: err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting for each app I attempt to run. I am not running Fink. Running 10.5.5 with XQuartz 2.3.1 installed. Any word on when 1.1.8 will be released? Thank you.

I'm going to install Mike's 1.1.9 release and see if that also produces errors.
