Summary: Wine needs more userfriendly message when certain dlls are not registered/missing Product: Wine Version: 1.1.12 Platform: PC URL: http://www.whizlabs.com/download.php?prod=SCJP6.0.exe OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: ole32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: xerox_xerox2000@yahoo.co.uk
Created an attachment (id=19352) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=19352) an idea of how to generate more userfriendly message
This bug's intention is to enhance user friendlyness, and hopefully less invalid bug reports, and more first time success experience for users.
Take for example app from http://www.whizlabs.com/download.php?prod=SCJP6.0.exe (from some bug in bugzilla). The application fails with a run-time error, and some , for newbies, cryptic ole errors.
I think it would enhance wine's userfriendlyness a big deal, if we would just put up a nice messagebox, with a message what the error means, and what should be done.
I'll attach a (crappy) patch , just to give an idea how easy it would be to give users more clues how to get around the "bug".
Just apply patch , and run the app above, and user will know he has to install wsh56.
