------- Additional Comments From nospam@thenerdshow.com 2005-18-12 11:19 ------- Address 0xfffffff4 is evidently a temp. data address used to communicate with ODBC (Available for download as MDAC_TYP.EXE).
Possible wine fixes:
I'm new to wine hacking but I could suggest adding a debug output when common database-related messages appear, such as if debug="read access to 0xfffffff4" echo "Is ODBC (MDAC_TYP) correctly installed?"
Evidently, if you do not install MDAC_TYP.EXE, Liberty installer tries to install MDAC 2.7, which requires IE > 4.01 SP2 and DCOM98*. DCOM98 installer often won't work without native ole*.dll...
I haven't tried this yet but some sites suggest compiling UnixODBC for linux and configuring wine to use that instead of installing Microsoft's MDAC_TYP.EXE
If the above suggestion works, a better "fix" would be to have wine detect the install of MDAC and automatically download and install the non-M$ alternative, sort of like what it does for the MozControl.
This could be a duplicate. Lots of ODBC apps out there.
