Summary: Problem with BDE applications - error $251E. Product: Wine Version: 0.9.29. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: rafal@algorytm.pl
When I start program which uses Borland Database Engine (BDE), I get message box with following text:
An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $251E)
This happens only when wine emulates "Windows 98" Under Windows 2000 emulation, BDE starts fine.
To avoid this error, you should set registry key:
"SHAREDMEMLOCATION"="9000"
under
[Software\Borland\Database Engine\Settings\SYSTEM\INIT]
