Summary: Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 fails to start without dcom98? Product: Wine Version: 0.9.47. Platform: Other URL: http://scansoft.com OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: regression Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-ole AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
DNS 8 installs easily, no problem. Running it is another matter. You have to install word viewer 97 to get docobj.dll, e.g.
test -f wordview.exe || wget http://downloads.pcworld.com/pub/new/business/word_processing/wordview.exe cp wordview.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/wvinstall.exe mv ~/.wine/dosdevices/z: ~/.wine/dosdevices/oldz cd ~/.wine/drive_c wine wvinstall.exe cd ../.. mv ~/.wine/dosdevices/oldz ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:
Also, winetricks fakeie6 dcom98 seems to be required.
I thought this was working without dcom98 a few revs ago... some notes in email indicate the regression might have happened between Sept 21 and Sept 30th?
