Summary: Installing DirectX breaks "gold" VB6 heavy application Product: Wine Version: 1.0-rc3 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: panton41@gmail.com
Various games force the installation of DirectX, after this installation a VB6 heavy game utility titled GURPS Chracter Assistant fails to start. The program will display a splash screen and a window allowing datasets to be chosen, but afterward crashing displaying an error traced to ole32. The program requires the use of native riched20 and oleaut32 and is a character creation utility for a tabletop roleplaying game titled GURPS from Steve Jackson Games.
Clearing the error currently requires erasing the Windows directory, rebuilding it, replacing the native DLLs and reinstalling the utility.
I do not have a back trace to send yet, however I will reproduce the error and upload it once I am able.
