[Bug 17551] New: Halo: Installer fails to complete with error "Cannot load pidgen.dll" (needs mfc42.dll)
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17551 Summary: Halo: Installer fails to complete with error "Cannot load pidgen.dll" (needs mfc42.dll) Product: Wine Version: 1.1.16 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: anomalydetected(a)gmail.com Created an attachment (id=19706) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=19706) Terminal output with WINEDEBUG=+relay I am running Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit and wine 1.1.16. I am running the command "wine /media/cdrom0/Setup.Exe" to begin the installer. The main menu comes up normally, however clicking the listed options has no effect. I can still select Install by pressing Alt-I on the keyboard. The next step is to enter the serial number. After doing so, I again cannot click the Next button (nothing happens), but can press Alt-N. That is when the error message "Cannot load PidGen.dll" is displayed. At this point I am unable to close the application (due to inability to click menu items) and must manually end the running process. There is an ERR listed in the terminal mentioning MFC42.DLL is not found. If I install the native mfc42.dll file from the Visual C++ 6 Redistributable (I used winetricks), I still have to use Alt-key combinations to navigate the menu, but then the game installs normally after entering my serial and plays just fine. Terminal output of WINEDEBUG=+relay attached. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

The mfc42.dll file is a redistributable library which lies outside the scope of Wine. The winetricks script (verb vcrun6) should help you satisfy this dependency. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Oh. My mistake then. I thought the goal with wine was to use 100% microsoft free code (redistributable or not), and thusly filed this bug. But if that is not the case, then I'm fine with just using the redistributable package and the bug can be closed. Thanks for the fast reply! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Ideally, yes. But since that dll can be redistributed legally, it's not a high priority. There is plenty of other work to do. Maybe once we've got most other dlls covered, but until then, unlikely. That said, if someone were to implement the dll, I don't see why it wouldn't be accepted. But I don't see any wine developer spending their time/resources to implement it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
