Summary: Dashofer Verlag (@Borland DB) newer versions dosen't run Product: Wine Version: 0.9.2. Platform: PC URL: http://www.dashofer.com OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: tuharsky@misbb.sk
Dashofer Verlag is international publisher. Produces software of many kinds, almost targets on reference, law, technical and standardisation. It offers pre-created documents that are stored in Borland database.
Older versions of the software (year 2003, some 2004) function very well with wine.
Newer versions employ slightly different installer, that differs from older ones by not allowing to select Typical/Compact/Custom installation type.
I don't know, if the only change in the software is the installer, or there is a difference in version of runtimes, Borland db itself etc.. I just say, that by the new installer it can be with great probability said, if it will run or no.
It seems however, that Borland DB is the same, since all files in Program Files/Common Files/Borland Shared/Bde are from year 2001 or older.
It's pitty, but the software is dependent on actual data, thus the older (working) versions are not of much help for us.
We are migrating to Linux and could be cool if we could shake this one dependency on legacy systems.
