The Olympus LS-10 is an audio recorder and you need Windows or MacOS to update it. I also have its competitor Zoom H4n, which can be updated no matter what operating system you use, very nice indeed; just copy a file to the root directory of the Zoom and then restart the Zoom while holding PLAY/PAUSE, which will cause it to update itself. But the Olympus doesn't work this way. You must download an EXE file which you are then supposed to run. I have Ubuntu 10.10 and I tried to run it with Wine, the version from Ubuntu's repositories. First it complained that I miss the mfc42.dll, so I downloaded it from here (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mfc42) and placed it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32, but I can still not make it work properly. This is the last try I did: Code: $ wine LS10_FWUPDATE_V110a.exe ^CDATE_V110a.exe: compobj.c:620: apartment_release: F?rs?kran "list_empty(&apt->stubmgrs)" falsk. fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosErrorNoTeb no mapping for c000013a wine: Call from 0x7bc49f00 to unimplemented function MFC42.DLL.6467, aborting wine: Unimplemented function MFC42.DLL.6467 called at address 0x7bc49f00 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
