------- Additional Comments From markknecht@gmail.com 2007-21-05 11:55 ------- OK, I've tried tried installing with Wine-0.9.37. The installation proceeds more or less correctly until it gets to the end when I get a pop up message telling me that a number of dll's failed to 'self register', whatever that is.
When I attempt to run the main program I see this in the terminal:
mark@lightning ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MathSoft/Mathcad 8 $ wine Mathcad.exe err:module:import_dll Library MSVCIRT.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\VSFC80.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library VSFC80.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\MathDllSE.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library MSVCIRT.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\MathDllSE.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library MathDllSE.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\Mathcad.exe") not found err:module:import_dll Library MSVCIRT.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\VSFC80.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library VSFC80.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\MathDllSE.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library MSVCIRT.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\MathDllSE.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library MathDllSE.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\ResDllSE.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library ResDllSE.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\Mathcad.exe") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad 8\Mathcad.exe" failed, status c0000135 mark@lightning ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MathSoft/Mathcad 8 $
These may well be the same dlls that were in the pop up. Not sure.
Please note that this was a brand new Wine install on a machine that hasn't run Wine before. I let the MathCAD install attempt to create the .wine directory itself. If there is a better way to do the install that you'd like me to try let me know and I'll be happy to do it.
I would say that this is decidedly better than before but since the program had install plans maybe it stays in wine-loader for the short term?
