Bug ID: 39360 Summary: Arvoch Alliance demo stops loading: 'File error: aster.x' (needs native msvcr71.dll) Product: Wine Version: 1.7.51 Hardware: x86 URL: http://www.fileplanet.com/223983/220000/fileinfo/Arvoc h-Alliance-Demo-v1.088 OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msvcrt Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: gyebro69@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 52458 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=52458 plain terminal output
Prerequisite to start the demo: native dinput8.dll (bug #21403).
The game loads to a screen where you can register the game or start the demo. If you choose to start the demo, the game begins to load but it soon stops with the error message: 'File error: aster.x'.
The game comes bundled with it's own msvcp71,msvcr71 libraries, setting msvcr71 to native,builtin lets the game get further... and it shows a different error message: 'Runtime error 2002 - could not load animation'. This is unrelated to the reported problem (installing WMP10, native devenum and quartz eventually makes the game happy). Let this bug be about why Wine can't find this 'aster.x' with built-in msvcr71.
