[Bug 15698] New: Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 SDK fails to run

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15698

Summary: Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 SDK fails to run
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.6
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ole32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Installation is fine without any winetricks or native dlls.

Note that this is the SDK version of DNS-9 which has not been mentioned in
AppDB or bugzilla to date AFAICS.

Running the translation utility (which converts a wav sound file to text) fails
like this:

wine Program\ Files/Nuance/Dragon\ SDK\ Server\
Edition9/Program/trscribe_ftof.exe -username='US1_lm2' -topicname='US English |
Large | General' -wavefile='C:\dss_utts\s5.wav' -outfile='C:\dss_trans\s5.txt'
-useconfidence -indexfile='C:\dss_trans\s5.xml'

IDgnEngine::SpeakerTopicSelect() failed.

Since it's a OLE error I thought I'd try

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,oleaut32=y" wine ...

with native DLL's from Win-XP SP3 - but I just get another set of problems - it
seems to stop even faster:

Parsing command line...
Command line was parsed successfully.
Initializing transcription objects...
Unable to create DgnEngineControl object.
Error Code: 0x80070078
No Error Description available.

I also tried various other native DLLs but nothing perturbs that last error.

So far I tried win-1.1.6, wine from cvs (as of 20th Oct) and wine-0.9.61, all
to the same effect.

I also tried the following winetricks, all to no positive effect:

fakeie6 
vcrun6 
gdiplus
comctl32
vcrun2005
dotnet20
dcom98

I tried installing Word 97 viewer but it seems to be hanging on 100% CPU usage
for the last hour (AppDB recommends waiting for it) ...

Any ideas?

Thanks

BTW, this is on fedora-8 on a generic i686 machine with 2Gb RAM. Nothing
exotic.
