wine users - May 2010 - noob question - program won't run

hi,

sorry for the potentially stupid question.

I'm a little stuck. when trying to run the stupid update manager i need for
my satnav, which - obviously - is windows only, nothing happens. install worked,
the icon's on my desktop, it has been made executable, but after a bit of
harddrive action nothing happens.

terminal says:


Code:
mzwo at mzwo-laptop:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/mzwo/.wine" wine
"C:\Program Files\Becker\Content Manager 2\cm2.exe"
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly
L"Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC" (8.0.50608.0)
err:module:attach_process_dlls "odbc32.dll" failed to initialize,
aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program
Files\\Becker\\Content Manager 2\\cm2.exe" failed, status c0000005
mzwo at mzwo-laptop:~$ 




what to do?

many thanks,
Matt

PS: running ubuntu 10.04. wine was installed from the repositories.

Here is an experiment to try, at least:

Run winecfg (I run it from a command prompt) and click on the
"Applications" tab at the top.  "Add" your application
cm2.exe
to the list of applications (maybe still empty at this point).

With your cm2.exe app selected in the Applications tab, click on
the "Libraries" tab.  Find "New overrides for library:" and
click
on the dropdown icon at the right to see the list of libraries.

Select odbc32 from the list of libraries and then click "Add" to
add it to the "Existing overrides".  (This will use the native MS
odbc32 library instead of the wine version, but only for cm2.exe.
(Other applications can/should be customized using the same recipe.)

Click OK to close winecfg and restart your cm2.exe application.

winetricks vcrun2005

How to get and use winetricks is explained in the Wine FAQ.

You may also need to get and run mdac28 using winetricks, if odbc32.dll 
is not included with your program (and I suspect it is not as it a major 
Windows component and is included with WindowsXP.)
