wine users - Jul 2010 - I assume that wine doesn't like OLE programs using OpenGL

Just tried to run GMax.  Got the splash screen and then,

err:ole:CoUninitialize Mismatched CoUninitialize
err:seh:setup_exception_record stack overflow 1028 bytes in thread 0026 eip
7bc3ed88 esp 02240f2c stack 0x2240000-0x2241000-0x2340000

Really, folks, I'm too old for all that Hexadecimal stuff. [Evil or Very
Mad]

Gmax 1.2 doesn't fair well according to most users who've tried it in
WINE:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6303&iTestingId=7377
<http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6303&iTestingId=7377>

Whenever thinking about trying out a program you've never tried to run 
in WINE before, the appdb is your first port of call to see what 
difficulties, if any, you can expect to face. Simply having a bad rating 
in the appdb isn't any reason not to try your program, just as a 
positive rating doesn't guarantee you will have success on your system. 
Sometimes workarounds are posted in the comments area of a particular 
appdb entry.

Please have a look at the link and look in the comments area to see if 
anyone else is having the same problem or has figured out a workaround. 
If you find out anything helpful through personal research and 
troubleshooting, create an appdb account and share your experience with 
the community.

Cheers,

Thanks for the problem report about gmax and wine.
I've updated the gmax appdb entry and filed two more bug
reports.

gmax seems to run fine if you do 'winetricks vcrun6' first,
and if you *don't* choose opengl in the initial dialog.

Does that help?

Well, I hope you are at least wearing your cap.
