--- Comment #26 from inf3cti inf3cti@yahoo.com 2009-11-22 14:51:37 --- This was not working for me on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic (upgraded from 9.04) and the "ubuntu-recommended" wine v1.0.1. Guitar Pro v5.2 got crashing just after I started it. I got the gdiplus.dll error message.
I decided to try the Regression Testing procedure (http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting) and went all the way installing git, downloading wine sources, configuring, fixing dependencies, building wine from source. I removed my previous ( rm ~/wine/* ) files and run winecfg with the newly built wine v1.1.33-301-gd963e97 ( ~/wine-git/wine ~/wine-git/programs/winecfg/winecfg.exe.so ). I did not change anything in the default wine setup, just wanted the ~/.wine directory recreated.
I newly installed GP5, and suprisingly it was running without the error. Funny thing that now it works even with the wine v1.0.1. Maybe the fresh ~/.wine directory helped.
