--- Comment #1 from Louis Lenders xerox_xerox2000@yahoo.co.uk 2008-09-27 01:00:30 --- Hi Susan, you should start fixing this: err:module:import_dll Library MFC40.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\windows\system32\MsgHoo32.OCX") not found
Do 'winetricks mfc40', then reinstall the application

Thanks. Here is corrected terminal output with MFC40 installed.

err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\windows\system32\vpectrl35.ocx
Is that file vpectrl35.ocx present in system32? And if it is, try register it again 'regsvr32 vpectrl35.ocx'. Maybe that might help

It does help. That is exactly the problem. There are about 10 OCX files, and none of them are being registered properly. I carefully hand-registered all of them according to your instructions above, and now the program seems to work, provided I install winetricks mfc40 first.
Thanks!

--- Comment #5 from James Hawkins truiken@gmail.com 2008-09-27 14:43:13 --- Ok, so at first glance this seems like an installer bug. Can you attach the console output from the installer? To be proactive, can you attach a +msi log as well?

--- Comment #8 from James Hawkins truiken@gmail.com 2008-09-27 15:24:58 --- Ok, so the msi log shows it's not using msi. From the console output, it looks like some of the libs are failing to be registered because of missing VB runtime libs. Can you rerun the installer with a clean wineprefix with vb6run installed from winetricks?

How about that? Installs. Runs. I haven't checked it out carefully, but it seems to be OK. Text on drop-down menus displays poorly, but that's a separate issue.

--- Comment #11 from James Hawkins truiken@gmail.com 2008-09-27 15:41:38 --- Ok, then I'd like to close this bug (probably invalid) as the mfc issue is already a bug somewhere, and implementing vbrun is outside the scope of wine.

Could you add a note to the AppDB about this?
WB has its own AppDB entry. I modified the test results, upgraded it from garbage to bronze (not silver because I haven't really tested it, and the drop-down menus display poorly) and put a link to this bug. Anything I missed, let me know.
