wine users - Jan 2010 - Missing controls in Garmin software setup

Hello,

I've got a Garmin GPS device and tried to follow the hint to install the
specific software under Wine .  There were *some* reports of success but
all reporters admit "problems" without specifying these explicitely. 
So
I try to find a way to fix these problems by reporting them.

I attached a screenshot of the setup process.  As you can see my first
problem is that there are no buttons I might press.  So the setup
process can not even be started.  This problem occures for any of the
related Garmin software.  I have also examples where I should accept a
license agreement - but there is no such box to click.

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux testing and tried both: The stable branch
wine 1.0.1-2 as well as wine-unstable 1.1.32 without any visible
difference.

Please tell me what further information might be needed to track down
the problem.

Kind regards

    Andreas.

Your attachment was scrubbed by the mailing list software. Upload the screenshot
somewhere and post a link.

Console output would be more useful than a screenshot. You should also try the
app in the latest development release, which is currently 1.1.36.

If it needs drivers to talk to the GPS device, Wine won't work, except
maybe for USB-to-serial devices... (If the GPS is accessed as
mass-storage there might be hope as well...)

winetricks ie6 maybe?

http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

some debugs might help as well... No idea which ones... (and enabling
all just results in a very slow program and a log that is too long for
anybody to read...) Someone know a bit more about the relevant parts
of Wine...
