Summary: Little Reader hangs on startup Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other URL: http://brillkids.com/little-reader/ OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ole AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
In http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader/little-reader-in-linux/ a user said she was unable to use Wine to run Little Reader. So I gave it a shot. To install, you have to first do sh winetricks dotnet20 to work around the fact that .net doesn't quite install yet.
The app starts, but hangs at the splash screen. You can see why by reading ~/"BrillKids/Little Reader/Data/error.log" Please install Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC) version 2.6 or later. and The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. Doing sh winetricks mdac27 jet40 gets past those. Then you run into:
No error message available, result code: E_FAIL(0x80004005). at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal..ctor(OleDbConnectionString constr, OleDbConnection connection) ... at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.Open() at BabyReader.DataBaseCheckTable.Check() in error.log, and err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {ecabb0c0-7f19-11d2-978e-0000f8757e2a} not registered on the console. That UUID seems to be associated with COM+, and is provided by comsvcs.dll, which Wine doesn't have.
Why a baby reading program needs COM+ is anyone's guess. Presumably just accidental lockin as a byproduct of using OleDb (and maybe .net).

--- Comment #2 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2008-12-18 08:11:43 --- Hello,
yes minimum required dependency list is:
sh winetricks dotnet20 mdac28 jet40
The db provider tries to load the access database from: "%PROFILES%\%USERNAME%\My Documents\BrillKids\Little Reader HOME\Data\LittleReader.mdb" and fails.
Unfortunately the version now available for download seems updated/different. There is no diagnostics like in your case shown. Additionally the app is now heavily obfuscated making it harder to get any meaning from execution flow.
Can you provide the original app installer where you get that error from?
I think in future it would be more helpful when some people archive demos/trials/apps on private server where downloads can be made available upon request to hunt down bugs.
There are many bug reports which suffer from same problem: when I start looking at it, the original version is not available anymore. One has a hard time to find anything similar. The ability to replicate the exact problem with same version is important.

--- Comment #3 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-12-18 10:30:18 --- Yes, I always try nowadays to at least give filename and sha1sum of the installer to make it somewhat easier to find it and verify it's the same version. And I do maintain a private archive, but it's poorly organized and partly offline. I'll try to bring it back online and have a look.

--- Comment #4 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2009-01-20 02:39:30 --- Removing deprecated CVS/GIT version tag. Please retest in current git. If the bug is still present in today's wine, but was not present in some earlier version of wine, please update version field to earliest known version of wine that had the bug. Thanks!

--- Comment #5 from James McKenzie jjmckenzie51@earthlink.net 2010-02-07 21:08:37 --- Dan/Anstasius: I'm getting this error when trying to run BiblePro.exe, November Release. Since then there has been a further release, but the November release looks like it needs .NET 2.0/MDAC 2.8 and Jet 4.0. Will clear the Prefix I'm using and try it again.
