With the 20030813 release the following error displays to the console when I try to install mIRC 6.03: "err:ddeml:DdeConnect Done with INITIATE, but no Server window available" the mIRC install displays a dialog with: "There seems to be a problem adding mIRC icons to the Program Manager!" Other than that, mIRC seems to work fine. After a bit more testing I'm finding any app that I try to install with this release creates the same error message. Any thoughts? -- David Orriss Jr. Please email me if you want my ICQ/AIM/IM ID's.
Hi
"err:ddeml:DdeConnect Done with INITIATE, but no Server window available" In order to create shorcut icons, mIRC uses a deprecated method: calling the Progman via a DDE connection. However, wine doesn't launch Progman in order to handle this kind of request.
Thus, one way is to get a progman app from a windows installation and then run it with wine before running mirc. Your shortcuts would be created then. I don't know if the Progman shipped with wine source tree can take in account DDE request. HTH, Stéphan
