Summary: Entropia Universe 6.5.1 won't start Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other URL: http://downloads.zdnet.co.uk/0,1000000375,39188457s,00.h tm OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/off-topic/117707-entropia-universe-linux... said Entropia Universe didn't start under Wine, so I grabbed the first download for it I could find, http://downloads.zdnet.co.uk/0,1000000375,39188457s,00.htm I looked at the Appdb http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2655 and guessed at the following recipe to install prerequisites: sh winetricks gecko directx9 vcrun2005 vcrun2005sp1 wmp10 The app installed, but when it tried to start, it failed quickly. You can reproduce after installation with
cd ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/MindArk/Entropia Universe" wine Entropia.exe
The console shows, among others, the error err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP80.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MindArk\Entropia Universe\stlport.5.1.dll") not found Er, looks like I never updated winetricks to fix http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2008-May/033957.html OK, done, winetricks now sets win2k when installing vcrun2005.
But Entropia still fails to load; the console shows fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" err:module:attach_process_dlls "MSVCR80.dll" failed to initialize, aborting and a dialog says "Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\MindArk\Entropia Universe\Entropia.exe R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly"
So the app is finding msvcr80 the wrong way, but why?
