Log from Game Launcher

When running from game launcher I can not seem to download any of the content.
I get some of:
fixme:hlink:IHlink_fnSetMonikerReference (0xa718bd0)->(0 0xa718c08 (null))
fixme:shdocvw:HlinkFrame_Navigate unsupported grfHLNF=00000002

fixme:shdocvw:HlinkFrame_Navigate Not supported HLNF_OPENINNEWWINDOW
fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 16 not supported yet

I suspect shdocvw?

Are you using a PC or Mac?
What kind of content is it?  Is it just HTML content?  Do you have a
screenshot?

Definitely NOT a blocker.

If you think it's shdocvw, try 'winetricks ie6' to check.

That would be comctl32, i.e., 'winetricks cc580'.

Screenshot of no IE error

(In reply to comment #3)
He did installed ie6 that's why he gets this error.

I don't use illegal crack advertised by Mark hughes and i run fine
Sims3Launcher.exe.

In attachment i'm showing that there is no error in welcome screen and that it
works correctly. When i install ie6 i get errors (just like in comment #7) in
every screen. The download screen is empty because the game is to be published
on 2nd June (i also don't get errors there)

As i said earlier stop installing unneeded crap (vcrun2005 , allfonts, DirectX,
ie6) You make unneeded noise with this bug. The game needs only dotnet20 to
work and nothing else.

Patch is not illegal: No CD Patch.

Before doing the IE6 thing that screen was not empty.

Hello,

I registered just so I could answer this question, so, try and feel somewhat
special for the next few moments:

This "bug" has nothing to do with Wine. 
Also, you are not using a legal copy of the game -- this happens to have
resulted in the major majority of the problem you are experiencing. "No-CD"
patches are also considered copyright-avoidance, and therefor also illegal
(despite the fact that you will probably never be charged with copyright
infringement for it, as silly as CD Protection seems).

The reason this is not working is simply because, EA has not enabled the Upload
or Download feature called "The Sims Exchange".

Also, at this point, you will be redirected to an error message when you start
the game stating that you are using an unauthorized, unofficial copy of the
game. 
(EA wasn't born yesterday, they know their game was leaked. Their first action
was probably to disable the Exchange).

So, once again, there is no issue with Wine. I'm over-thrilled to hear that The
Sims 3 is expected to work with Wine... now I just have to wait for Microsoft
Office, and I'll switch over ;)
