Summary: cscript.exe from WSH (Windows Scripting Host) can't even print a banner without native ole32 Product: Wine Version: 0.9.16. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-ole AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
In windows, download the Windows Scripting Host 5.6 for Win2K installer from Microsoft. Reboot into Linux, then install as follows:
rm -rf .wine notepad (and quit immediately) cp MFC42.DLL .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ wine installers/WindowsXP-Windows2000-Script56-KB917344-x86-enu.exe
The install completes successfully. Now try to run it:
wine .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/cscript.exe
This should print a banner, but doesn't. Installing DCOM98 and setting ole32 to native as follows rescues it:
winecfg (set win98, and set ole32 to native only) wine DCOM98.EXE wine .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/cscript.exe
The latter command now prints a banner as expected.
