--- Comment #8 from piwacet davrosmeglos@gmail.com 2010-11-09 18:46:54 CST --- I gave this a try in Ubuntu under Virtualbox to see if it was related to the distribution, and I still can not reproduce it. I'm really not sure why. My one thought is that it may be related to the way I install DPP.
I own a copy of Windows XP which I run in Virtualbox, and I install/update the DPP software in this, and then copy the 'Program Files/Canon' directory from the virtualbox/windows setup to my wine directory to get the executables and related files, without having to go through the "DPP updater crashing" bug that wine has. Perhaps there is something about this process that prevents the bug others are experiencing?
It was not hard to test the above configuration if others want to try to reproduce my setup:
Virtualbox (binary version) 3.2.10 with guest additions installed Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit (running in above virtualbox) Ubuntu's wine 1.3.6 package (1.3.6-0ubuntu1-maverickppa1) without any patching DPP 3.9.2
