Hi, Using Wine 1.3.37 from Ubuntu PPA repo on Ubuntu 11.04 amd64. I know this thread is 3 1/2 years old, but I'm having exactly the same problem, and can't find a resolution anywhere else! I'm basically looking for guidance on the best way forward. There's a couple of possibilities here, and I'm happy to put the time in to getting this working, but would obviously prefer to attack the most likely causes first. PeopleTools 8.52 has a standalone installer package, using InstallAnywhere, which produces a series of "fixme" statements when running, and eventually crashes trying to clean itself up $ wine cmd /c Client/Disk1/setup.bat ... fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented. fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x182ea8, 0x00000002, L"Microsoft.VC90.MFC,version=\"9.0.30729.5570\",publicKeyToken=\"1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b\",processorArchitecture=\"x86\",type=\"win32\"", 0x33f928 fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x182ea8, 0x00000002, L"policy.9.0.Microsoft.VC90.CRT,version=\"9.0.30729.5570\",publicKeyToken=\"1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b\",processorArchitecture=\"x86\",type=\"win32-policy\"", 0x33f928 fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x182ea8, 0x00000002, L"Microsoft.VC90.ATL,version=\"9.0.30729.5570\",publicKeyToken=\"1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b\",processorArchitecture=\"x86\",type=\"win32\"", 0x33f928 fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x182ea8, 0x00000002, L"policy.9.0.Microsoft.VC90.MFCLOC,version=\"9.0.30729.5570\",publicKeyToken=\"1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b\",processorArchitecture=\"x86\",type=\"win32-policy\"", 0x33f928 fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x182ea8, 0x00000002, L"Microsoft.VC90.CRT,version=\"9.0.30729.5570\",publicKeyToken=\"1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b\",processorArchitecture=\"x86\",type=\"win32\"", 0x33f928 fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x182ea8, 0x00000002, L"policy.9.0.Microsoft.VC90.MFC,version=\"9.0.30729.5570\",publicKeyToken=\"1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b\",processorArchitecture=\"x86\",type=\"win32-policy\"", 0x33f928 fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x182ea8, 0x00000002, L"Microsoft.VC90.MFCLOC,version=\"9.0.30729.5570\",publicKeyToken=\"1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b\",processorArchitecture=\"x86\",type=\"win32\"", 0x33f928 fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x182ea8, 0x00000002, L"policy.9.0.Microsoft.VC90.ATL,version=\"9.0.30729.5570\",publicKeyToken=\"1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b\",processorArchitecture=\"x86\",type=\"win32-policy\"", 0x33f928 ... See http://paste.ubuntu.com/816030/ for full log. Then when running one of the installed programs, I get exactly the same error as the OP: $ wine C:/PT8.52/bin/client/winx86/pscfg.exe fixme:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken QueryInformationToken( ..., TokenSessionId, ...) semi-stub 8: 1327455420: PSPAL::Abort: PSPAL: OS process initialization failed 8: 1327455420: PSPAL::Abort: Location: E:\pt852-903-R1-retail\peopletools\src\pspal\init.cpp:135: PSPAL::Init::Init 8: 1327455420: PSPAL::Abort: PSPAL not initialized. Terminating process now. Normally, I'd imagine that getting the installation program running with no errors would be the first step, but I'm not sure if that is the problem. If I run the installer and hit Cancel on the first screen, then I get exactly the same errors, apart from the Wine fixme:storage and fixme:sxs messages. So the other errors appear to be with InstallAnywhere, and may not be directly related to the eventual problem running pscfg.exe. I've had a look at the QueryInformationToken call, but this appears to be related to terminal services sessions, so I would have thought the stub behaviour of returning zero was correct, but don't really know much more about what it's trying to do. So if anyone has any suggestions on the best way forward with this I'd be grateful. If anyone want to try this, then the software is freely available, although it is nearly 600MB and you have to have an Oracle account (free): * Go to http://edelivery.oracle.com and sign in. * In the Media Pack Search select the following: Product Pack: PeopleSoft Enterprise Platform: Linux x86-64 * Scroll down to "PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Media Pack" and select the link. * Scroll down to "PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Client Only" and select Download. * Unzip the package, and run the installer from there: $ wine cmd /c Client/Disk1/setup.bat $ wine Client/Disk1/InstData/setup.exe When you run the installer it will ask you for a license code. Use this: zm7ky3-w41m04-4u863q6-7oke1m-s7t1f2 (which is freely available from http://www.oracle.com/us/support/licensecodes/peoplesoft-enterprise/index.html) I've tried both the bat and exe versions with the same results. To run the application: $ wine C:/PT8.52/bin/client/winx86/pscfg.exe Cheers, Barney
