wine users - Jul 2010 - Animation:Master 2004

Hi all,

Has anyone got Animation:Master (preferably the 2004 version) working on Wine in
Ubuntu?  I know the AppDB lists Animation:Master 2005 rating as
'Garbage' because it requires the CD to run, but that hasn't been a
problem for me.

The program actually shows the splash screen and appears to load quite well, but
when the main program window appears, there is no mouse cursor (it disappears
when hovering over the window) and the program appears completely frozen (keys
and clicks don't respond).

Running the application from the terminal, I get the following output:


Code:
[color=blue]monkeyjohn at monkeycon:~$ wine "C:\Program Files\Hash
Inc\V10.5\Master.exe"
fixme:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Header type magic 0x00905a4d not supported.

Originally, the program wouldn't run because wine lacks MFC42.dll, but I
installed it using WineTricks.

I am running Hash Inc.'s Animation:Master (2004) v10.5r on Wine v1.2 on
Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx) v10.04.  Any help (including insight into these error
messages) would be appreciated.  ^_^

(I should also note that I am both a Wine and Linux novice, so please be kind to
my technical ignorance.)  Thank you!

P.S. Wine rocks!

Holy crud bubbles!  I got it to work!

It turns out that all I needed to do was install Microsoft Agent 2.0 Core from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e11bf712-7862-45ba-826d-44ae3a11836f&displaylang=en,
and it works fine!  (I did have to set the Windows version of AgentSvr.exe
located at 'C:\Windows\msagent' to Windows98, though.)

It totally took care of the 
Code:
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {d45fd2fc-5c6e-11d1-9ec1-00c04fd7081f}
could be created for context 0x5

 
It will probably work if you're having this error for a different
application, too.  Anyway, thanks for existing, community!  I'll return to
assist periodically.

(Now to update the AppDB.  How do I do that, now?)

Something to add to winetricks, perhaps?
