wine users - May 2012 - Program in wine fails during the C-function call setlocale

Hallo,

i want to use a Windows-Program in Wineskin. That Program break the start
because of a fail-Return from the ANSI C function call 'setlocale(LC_ALL,
"german")'. Because of the Programm has to calculate with prices,
it's necessary to use this function. Has anybody an idea how I can make this
function call positive? I don't know more about the details, but I asked the
windows programmer and he told me that details that i wrote.

Kind Regards

Hi,

As a workaround you might try to install windows runtime libraries using
"winetricks vcrun6", "winetricks vcrun2005" or
"winetricks vcrun2008", depending on which compiler/library the
developer of your app used. You could still file a bug, because if this call
works under windows, the builtin function in wine should be able to cope with
it, too. Maybe wine expects a different format, in some samples I goggled, a
more verbose format like "German_Germany.1252" is used instead of just
"german".
