Summary: Cannot install Irish Revenue software Product: Wine Version: 0.9.28. Platform: Other URL: http://www.ros.ie/PublisherServlet/info/install (offline app) OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: wine-gui AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: junk_mail@iol.ie CC: junk_mail@iol.ie
This windows software will not install under wine. Some details Revenue software: at the above url free for download. This uses kcrypto & java, and needs regularly refreshed browser pages. Kcrypto is a java applet available at https://www.ros.ie:/applets/kcrypto.cab but it is included in the offline application.
InstallAnyWhere creates a random install dir in ~/windows/temp with a version of Java-1.42b_05 in it. This exits on an InvocationTargetException without exploding any of the zips. Trying as a user, I got as far as a perms error on /dev/nvidia0 with msvcrt.dll set native. Fedora has the screen set as 0600 with owner as a luser, group root. So wine was tried with that luser, but still barfed. I will attach a logfile as soon as I figure that process here out in Bugzilla.
BTW, changing to .wine/drive_c/windows/temp/<random directory> and running ./Windows install.exe produces an identical fault, but allows you to fiddle things better, because the install directory is no longer random.
http://www.ros.ie/PublisherServlet/requirements#unix Curiously, there _may_ be commercial potential in this one, as the Irish Revenue intend to write a linux version, and porting to wine would certainly be the cheapest way of doing that. Try an email to roshelp@revenue.ie
