Summary: Kid Pix Deluxe 3 crashes on startup Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other URL: http://broderbund.com OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
To reproduce: buy a copy of Kid Pix Deluxe 3 (list price $20, but you can get it for $2 at http://www.shop.com/op/aprod-p18756232?sourceid=3 or $5 at http://www.surpluscdrom.com/seansky82aw-store/kidpixdeluxe3.html) or borrow one from your neighbor's kid :-)
Run winecfg and tell it to act like win98 (or you won't be able to start the installer).
Run the installer under a fresh copy of Wine. When it asks you to register, click 'register later'. You'll have to click and enter data past several poorly rendered screens, but amazingly, installation seems to complete properly.
Before you start the product, you may need to copy the hidden file configit.dll from the kpinstaller directory of the cd into the directory where you installed the game. (The file on my disc doesn't show up in linux, so I had to grab it under windows.)
Unfortunately, trying to start the product itself fails quickly with an exception:
