Hello, I am trying out wine to make a Windows program run under MacOS 10.6.6. It is a program for meteorlogical use with a rather small community. You can download it for free here (you won't be able to use it without account): http://www.dwd.de/bvbw/generator/DWDWWW/Content/Luftfahrt/Software/support/downloads__pcmet__voll/pcmet__install__zip,templateId=raw,property=publicationFile.zip/pcmet_install_zip.zip So I open the installation file with wine (1.2.2) and choose "run direcly in ...Wine Files" The installation starts but in the end I get this error message:> Self-registration error > > One or more files did not prperly self-register. > > Following files did not self-register: > 1. C:\windows\system32\bmplst32.ocx > Module not found > > 2. C:\windows\system32\MRAS32.OCX > Module not found > > 1. C:\windows\system32\Time32.OCX > Module not found > > To Continue select OK, otherwise select Cancel. >I hit OK and the installation finishes. But, of course, the program doesn't work. When I try to open the .exe with wine, I get this error message:> > pc_met32 > > Component 'MRAS32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalidWell, I am pretty new to Wine. From what I read, some Winetricks might help. But which ones, and how do I use them? When I select "Winetricks" in the menu, there is only an empty window. When I hit "Apply", I get the message "Winetricks was applied successfully" but noting more happens. I have read the guide and FAQ but to be honest, I couldn't make much sense of it. Most of it refers to Linux. Can someone help me? Regards -Nik
no idea on why its not working.. but it doesn't sound like your using plain Wine, you using some 3rd party program. Plain normal Wine in Mac OS X is compiled from source and used command line. If your using a 3rd party app like Wineskin, WineBottler, PlayOnMac, or whatever, you'll probably have to ask in their support channels.
Had a similar problem with a program for my son's school - they had an old laptop running Vista on 512Mb of ram (don't get me started) Linux was the logical answer, and the only program I couldn't substitute was the school management software STMS. Initially Wine was no help. After a good bit of research I found the OCX and DLL's that weren't registering depended on some other DLL's, namely Microsoft Foundation Classes 4.0 and 4.2. Easiest way I know how to explain how to figure out what is missing is to follow these instructions: * open the "Browse C: Drive" option on your Linux (or whatever Mac OS equivalent) menu and drag all the installation to a folder on C: * from a terminal window enter "wine cmd" * 'CD' to the installation folder and type whatever command starts the installation - Usually "setup" * the install will pop up in the GUI, but a stream of messages will appear in the terminal. Some are critical, some aren't (these usually say 'fixme') You're looking for something like: err:module:import_dll Library MFC40.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Pdqcom32.ocx") not found * in the above case (assuming you already have winetricks installed) finish the install and type 'exit' to get back to the native terminal - not C:> - and type "sh winetricks mfc40" Some OS's may omit the "sh" depending on how winetricks was installed.
