[Bug 19287] New: Cakewalk SONAR 4 crashes on start

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19287

Summary: Cakewalk SONAR 4 crashes on start
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msvcrt
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

error without mfc42u

I was previously able to get Cakewalk SONAR running on my system (this was a
while ago... my last appdb entry indicates I had been using wine 1.1.5 at the
time, and hardy heron as an OS). This was probably done with a few added dll
files, but the guide I used to get this program working was lost at whatever
point the sonar 2 entry was deleted (the walkthrough here enabled the use of at
LEAST versions 2-4). Recently I planned to reinstall this prgram, as I have yet
to find anything quite as easy to use in terms of midi composition. However, I
am completely unable to get the program to run (I only have sonar 4 now, my
older copies have disappeared). I'm fairly certain that missing/not
fully-fleshed-out dlls may be the culprit, so I'm filing this bug to see if
anything can be done about this.

Upon running in terminal, I get a few errors (attached), one of the more
important seeming to be a complaint of not finding MFC42u.DLL. I took a copy of
this dll from my old windows install and dropped it in my sonar folder, which
gets me a bit farther. Instead of silently crashing, I get an error window
popup that says "unknown error in sequencer dll", accompanied by more output in
the terminal (also attached). These new complaints seem to center around an
msvcrt function, which may also be suspect. I haven't been able to get any
farther than this.

I'm not in any way an expert or a coder, so I'm not sure if anything can be
done. I am curious as to what any devs might have to say about these errors,
however. If there is any way I can make progress on this, I'd like to. If more
information is needed, I'd be glad to help out (though I'll probably need to be
walked through the process). Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

Try to install it with 'winetricks mfc42'.

This IDs belong to Cakewalk itself I think (didn't find them on native
registry).

How did you install it? Maybe you just moved installed directory, if so clean
.wine and try installer.

> wine '/home/zach/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Cakewalk/SONAR 4 Producer Edition/SONARPDR.EXE'

as per the FAQ, cd to the install directory first then run the application.
There is nothing to suggest the bug is in msvcrt, unsetting component.

My apologies, I did run the program incorrectly. cd-ing and running produces
the same output, however. Also sorry for jumping the gun on setting a
component, I'd never filed a bug here and thought I was supposed to set
something there. Now I know, at least.

In addition, I did use the normal installer, though I wish I had a
pre-installed version I could test against this (I no longer have a windows
build, or I would do so). I've never used winetricks before, and was hoping to
avoid it since it wasn't necessary to run this program in the past, but if it
would be beneficial I can do that. Shall I try that?

I have now tested by installing mfc42 with winetricks, as suggested. however,
this does not seem to help much. I get the same output as when I used my own
copy of mfc42u (attached errors in the terminal, "unknown error in sequencer
DLL" as a popup warning). The only difference this way is that I do not get the
top line of my previous error (fixme:msvcrt:MSVCRT__wsetlocale 0 L".ACP").
Everything lse in the second attached error applies.

Is there anything else I can try? I would love to help get this running again.

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for a year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.3.2 or newer) wine?

Oh, I got no further help/suggestions, so I ended up giving up. Haven't
installed wine in a very long time (well, a year-ish, it seems), and I don't
actually have a copy of sonar 4 anymore to test... so I guess you can close
this, if you'd like.
