------- Additional Comments From markknecht@gmail.com 2007-25-05 10:30 ------- Note that wine --help was of no value at all. wine --setup did create the directory but only because Wine treated --setup like it was supposed to be an executable.
mark@lightning ~ $ wine --help Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program wine --help Display this help and exit wine --version Output version information and exit mark@lightning ~ $ wine --setup wine: creating configuration directory '/home/mark/.wine'... wine: '/home/mark/.wine' created successfully. wine: could not load L"c:\windows\system32\--setup.exe": Module not found mark@lightning ~ $
Having done the above I copied over your msvcirt.dll file into system32 and MathCAD 8 installed fine. It seems that this is needed by this program's installer.
I also tried running MathCAD and it worked as before. The program seems to work but it doesn't have all the right fonts I guess. I'll file a different bug on that one unless you think we should just follow along here.
Thanks!
