Summary: Running RTG Bills requires alternate winecfg configurations of winetricks installed dcom98 DLLs for alternate functions Product: Wine Version: 1.1.9 Platform: PC URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version &iId=15018 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mstuff@read.org.nz
Everything used seems to work with the following limitation, this is a kinda script to install which should explain:
### Get and install winetricks: ### http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
# Set your preferences WINEPREFIX=~/.Rtgbills winecfg;\ # Set up wine for RTG Bills using winetricks WINEPREFIX=~/.Rtgbills winetricks vb6run art2kmin mdac27 wsh56 dcom98;\ # Download RTG Bills from here: # http://www.rtgsoftware.com/download.htm # Or (adjust as required): wget http://cdn.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/winxp/busacct/bills221.exe;%5C WINEPREFIX=~/.Rtgbills wine bills221.exe;\ done
It seems, for RTG Bills and Timer to run normally set dcom98 dlls "ole32", "oleaut32" & "rpcrt4" to "builtin"; BUT to run any (it seems) of the functions under the "Reports" menu set those dlls to "native, builtin" - some other functions (e.g.: Setup > Bill Formats...; File > Change Matter Number...) will fail with this set up. I guess some clever setup of winecfg could resolve this tooing and froing.
