Summary: photosynth client won't present login dialog without native msxml3 Product: Wine Version: 1.1.6 Platform: Other URL: http://photosynth.net OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msxml3 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Noticed somebody at http://alexeysmirnov.name/blog/?p=230 saying Photosynth didn't work with Wine, so I gave it a shot.
The installer went fine. The client app launches ok, too. Clicking on the log in text gives the error XPath error : Undefined namespace prefix xmlXPathEval: evaluation failed exception LiveID.cpp(65) hr(0x80004005) and doesn't bring up a login dialog. You can work around this with winetricks msxml3
(To try online viewing, you have to do 'winetricks firefox flash' and go to photosynth.net with windows firefox. Didn't work for me on my Compaq Presario R3000, it said "Required number of texture blend stages (4) not supported". This affects a lot of graphics cards, see http://getsatisfaction.com/livelabs/topics/required_number_of_texture_blend_... so perhaps that's not a wine problem.)
