Summary: Can't bring up help on Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other URL: http://nuance.com OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Bringing up help on Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 either doesn't work at all, or just barely works.
For instance, in the new user training, if you get a dialog saying that it can't adjust your volume (as you currently do on some alsa systems like mine), there's a Help button. Clicking that gives the message "Failed to launch help." +relay shows 0028:Call KERNEL32.CreateFileW(00af7c70 L"mk:@MSITStore:C:\PROG~FBU\NUANCE\NATU~0QK\HELP\ENX\PREF\DRAGON_ENX.CHM>HiddenNav",80000000,00000001,00000000,00000003,00000080,00000000) ret=790786d7 0028:Ret KERNEL32.CreateFileW() retval=ffffffff ret=790786d7 Odd that it's trying to open that as a plain file. http://wiki.winehq.org/HtmlHelp indicates it's supposed to be accessed via wininet, or something. I'll attach a +relay log as helpbug1.txt.
Similarly, if you right click on the microphone symbol and chose "Help / Show Topics", you get a very similar error, 0009:Call KERNEL32.CreateFileW(00ae52e8 L"mk:@MSITStore:C:\PROG~FBU\Nuance\NATU~0QK\help\enx\pref\dragon_enx.chm",80000000,00000001,00000000,00000003,00000080,00000000) ret=78d356d7 and an entry in dragon.log: 16:38:45 Warning: HtmlHelpA(mk:@MSITStore:C:\PROG~FBU\Nuance\NATU~0QK\help\enx\pref\dragon_enx.chm, 0, 00000000)
The "Help / Performance Tools" entry (not sure about the name, it's one of the first ones in the list" does bring up help, but it's unstable, it seemed to crash pretty quickly for me.
