Summary: have downloaded and installed Photo! Editor,  Click on
                    .exe or desktop icon, getting "Program Error" message
                    box
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

(new to all this).Running Linux MINT 9 Isadora ...... have downloaded and
installed Photo! Editor,

http://pho.to/editor/download.php

have done the "permissions", but when I click on the .exe file in wine, I get a
"Program Error" message box with
***************************************************************************

" The program "Photo!Editor.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in WINE... you
may want to check appdb.winehq.org for tips about running this application

(been there, couldn`t find anything)

If this problem is not present under windows ( it works fine in windows Vista)
and has not been reported yet , you can report it at http://bugs.winehq.org

*****************************************************************************

Which is what I am doing !....

(It may be something to do with DLL files  (as I needed one to get IRFANVIEW
working )(but the error box doesn`t give that info ...)

thanks

Gerry

Hello,

the application imports all needed gdiplus API by ordinal (such "optimizations"
= serious brain damage).
Wine doesn't preserve the same export/ordinal order as Microsoft gdiplus hence
the stack gets imbalanced when wrong gdiplus exports are called, leading to
crash.

Use native gdiplus to work around the crash, e.g.: 'winetricks gdiplus'

(http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks)

Are these ordinals consistent across Microsoft OS versions?

Hello,

--- quote ---

well there probably exist a crapload of different gdiplus flavors (base API +
hotfix ones), managed in WinSxS assembly cache.
I don't know if the ordinals are stable across all the flavors.

You could run winedump on a couple of native versions (at least the major ver
ones) and run some script magic to determine if the functions remain bound to
same ordinals when the API got extended.

If you ask me I'd rather let such apps/vendors/devs bite the dust, it isn't
really worth the trouble maintaining fixed ordinal lists for regular dlls.
There are Microsoft dlls that explicitly export certain API by ordinal but
these are exceptions and mostly documented. Gdiplus doesn't fall in this
category.

The ordinals are all different across versions. I agree that this sounds like a
wontfix.

I suppose http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2011-May/101916.html
technically fixes this bug.

sure ;-)
But I don't think the patch specifically targeted the app in this bug report.
Maybe a more prominent candidate was found doing the same brain damage.

I saw a similar problem in another app. I had completely forgotten about this
bug and checked the ordinals in winxp vs win7 myself. It seems the new version
in win7 added new functions with new ordinals, instead of keeping them
lexically sorted. So it looks like MS is trying to preserve them for this dll.
