http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1387 ------- Additional Comments From winebug(a)flonet.net 2003-28-06 11:06 ------- Bug comments restored from Gmane.org: Hello wine programmers, I'm trying to install a Dorling Kindersley educational software package called "Learning Ladder - Ages 5 - 7" The install fails with the error: Unhandled exception: page fault on read access My environment is a fresh wine-20030318 on Redhat 8.0. The output of the winedbg tool is attached. Many thanks, Simon Taylor ------- Additional Comments From simon(a)unisolve.com.au 2003-04-14 05:40 ------- Created an attachment (id=453) --> (http://bugs.winehq.com/attachment.cgi?id=453&action=view) The output of the winedbg tool ------- Additional Comments From andi(a)rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de 2003-04-14 06:23 ------- Sorry, output is useless, since the program starts the real setup.exe with CreateProcess() and then immediately quits. And for some reason Wine doesn't keep logging the new process. :-\ Alexandre, could you tell us whether this behaviour is undesired and should/could be changed? BTW, you could run D:\dksetup\setup.exe instead of the setup wrapper. That way the *real* installation program should get logged properly. ------- Additional Comments From simon(a)unisolve.com.au 2003-04-14 07:30 ------- Created an attachment (id=454) --> (http://bugs.winehq.com/attachment.cgi?id=454&action=view) The output of bug_report.pl for /mnt/cdrom/dksetup/setup.exe ------- Additional Comments From mike(a)theoretic.com 2003-04-14 09:04 ------- If you've run up2date lately, you'll need the very latest release or CVS to avoid problems with glibc ------- Additional Comments From simon(a)unisolve.com.au 2003-04-14 23:50 ------- Thanks for the attention people have given this bug report so far - it's very heartening. Things have moved along a little, I now get a different Unhandled exception error ;-) Specifically: * I run " wine /mnt/cdrom/dksetup/setup.exe" * I get a small Installshield Wizard window with a progress bar and then another small window with: Unhandled exception Error Number: 0x80040706 Desciption: Object reference not set Setup will now terminate * I've run this process through a dozen times, (taking care to clean up any old wine or wineserver processes still running), and I've noticed that every so often I don't get the Unhandled exception window, and I get as far as the full screen Installshield window. But my wine session and screen are unresponsive at that point. I'm going to attach the latest bug_report.pl output. Are there any other tests I can run to help? ------- Additional Comments From simon(a)unisolve.com.au 2003-04-14 23:52 ------- Oops. I forgot to mention in my last comment that I have installed today's cut of wine from cvs. Otherwise I am running on a fairly vanilla RedHat 8.0 laptop. ------- Additional Comments From simon(a)unisolve.com.au 2003-04-14 23:53 ------- Created an attachment (id=455) --> (http://bugs.winehq.com/attachment.cgi?id=455&action=view) The output of the bug_report.pl program using wine-20030408 ------- Additional Comments From mike(a)theoretic.com 2003-04-15 05:28 ------- Try installing dcom98 from microsoft.com ------- Additional Comments From simon(a)unisolve.com.au 2003-04-23 06:32 ------- Thanks for the suggestion Mike. I've downloaded DCOM98.exe, but when I try to install it, I get an error window that says: A newer version of DCOM95 or DCOM98 had been installed. To override, you must uninstall the current version first. To ensure that I was not getting this error due to old dcom software lying around, I then setup my wine config file so that it pointed to new c: and e: drives (empty except for the minimum Windows directories you guys recommend. So therefore it's a Unix only empty widows system). It still generated the same error. I searched for the error in the winehq bug list, and on google generally. I saw a few mentions, but no obvious resolution. If anyone can help me to progress this, I would be most grateful. I'm very keen to install this app, (and others like it), that I have purchased for my kids, and dammit (!) I don't want Windoze in the house ;-) ------- Additional Comments From mike(a)theoretic.com 2003-04-23 10:41 ------- Are you running the DCOM installer with builtin ole32, oleaut32 or rpcrt4 dlls? I don't really know what's going on here. I assume you've tried a clean install right? DCOM should install right off with no problems on a clean install of WineHQ CVS. ------- Additional Comments From simon(a)unisolve.com.au 2003-04-24 00:10 ------- Actually no, dcom98.exe from microsoft.com does not install for me with a fresh Unix only wine environment and todays CVS cut of wine. I've attached a script file that shows the process I ran to prove this. In summary, I: * Removed my old c directory (/c) * Got the latest wine from CVS and built it * Logged in as a user who has never run wine before (eg: no .wine directory) * Ran tools/wineinstall to rebuild wine and to build a local .wine directory and a local c directory * Confirmed what was done by wineinstall * cd to the new c directory * cp the DCOM98.exe file into that directory * wine DCOM98.exe And unfortunately, I get exactly the same error as before. It insists that I have to uninstall the earlier DCOM version first ;-( This is dead easy to reproduce, should I make this into a separate bug report or leave it here? Any feedback gratefully received. ------- Additional Comments From simon(a)unisolve.com.au 2003-04-24 00:12 ------- Created an attachment (id=463) --> (http://bugs.winehq.com/attachment.cgi?id=463&action=view) A 'script' file of the tools/wineinstall process ------- Additional Comments From mike(a)theoretic.com 2003-04-25 03:16 ------- I'll try this tonight with latest CVS wine (i haven't done an update for a while). It sounds like something broke DCOM installation recently. Not good. If I get the same results we should open a new bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
