Crash logs from wine and vmplayer, including error dialogue pictures.

vmplayer crashes with wine 1.0-rc1. A version of vmplayer can be downloaded
from http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/VMware-Player-Download-28391.html

The following account of the problem will refer to the
vmplayer-crash-logs.tar.gz attachment. In the attachment are the following:
vmplayer-wine-crash.log - wine crash log
vmware-quatre-8.log     - vmplayer crash log
pictures of error messages from vmplayer

Note: The wine logs are marked to show when the error dialogues appear and are
dismissed.

Wine correctly installed vmplayer. When vmplayer is run with no arguments it
should bring up a menu asking which virtual machine to run. Instead, the error
seen in vmplayer-error.jpg popups up. After it is dismissed, the program chugs
away for another few moments, then popups up vmplayer-error2.jpg. After
pressing ok, the application crashes.

The wine in question is v1.0-rc1 and was built from source with default
configuration. vmplayer was run using an empty ~/.wine directory.

Why would anyone run VMPlayer inside WINE? It's useless, as native versions
exist; and virtualizers tend to use stuff WINE never can emulate (direct HW
access).

(This does not mean it is not a good test case!)

I figured it was a reach using vmplayer with wine. I was just curious if it
would work.  (:

There are Linux-native virtual machine solutions.

No it will not ever work. Wine does not emulate kernel in it's entirety.
Closing won't fix.
Use native version instead.
