Backtrace of Unhandled Exception

Attempt to start Paradox 11 gives a splash screen followed by an Unhandled
Exception due to an access to 0x00000000 in pxsrv32.  Backtrace attached.

This occurs with Paradox 11 installed from CD with WordPerfect Office 11 (2003)
and WordPerfect Office X3 (2005).

The Wine configuration does not specify any native dll overrides but wsh56 was
installed in order to facility the installation of the application, which
appears to make heavy use of mfc42.dll.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.13 or newer) wine?

This is still very much an issue in Wine 1.1.3.

There is a workaround - delete all copies of PDX_EN_FULL_bars.cfg (the Toolbar
Configuration File) before starting the Paradox.  Do not confuse this file with
PDX_EN_FULL_sbar.cfg (the Statusbar Configuration File).  The former is toxic
under Wine, the latter benign.

This workaround is effective only for later versions of Paradox 11 (such as the
one shipped with Word Perfect Office X3).  It does not work with earlier
versions (such as the one shipped with Word Perfect Office 11).  The earlier
versions complain about the absence of the Toolbar Configuration File.

The configuration file is not a text file in the usual sense and contains no
gratuitous \r\n sequences so I doubt the fixes for Python regression tests will
make any difference but I will check anyway.

Any suggestions as to how to investigate this bug further would be appreciated.

No response in over 6 months, marking abandoned. If this is still an issue in
current (1.2-rc1 or newer) wine, and you can provide the needed information,
feel free to reopen.
