Summary: Governor of poker crashes Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shdocvw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: xerox_xerox2000@yahoo.co.uk
Hi, i saw someone was trying to get this app running here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=838840
So i gave it a try as well. I got the same crash as that guy. The following workaround makes the game start and run nicely: Put following in the registry: REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{56FDF344-FD6D-11d0-958A-006097C9A090}] @="Task Bar Communication"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{56FDF344-FD6D-11d0-958A-006097C9A090}\InProcServer32] @="C:\Windows\System32\SHDOCVW.DLL" "ThreadingModel"="Apartment"
Then run with native shdocvw (and shlwapi).
Apparently ITaskBarList implementation is completely missing from shdocvw, causing the crash above.
