[Bug 18486] New: Simply Invoice aborts with "System.Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component"

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18486

Summary: Simply Invoice aborts with "System.Exception: Cannot
                    create ActiveX component"
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.21
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.simplyinvoice.co.uk
        OS/Version: other

A Linux user mentioned in
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7282541
that he wanted a package like "Simply Invoice"
http://www.simplyinvoice.co.uk/
for till management, but that he didn't want to
run "Simply Invoice" under Wine.  (Presumably
because it wouldn't work well.)  So I gave it a shot.

The installer first tried to install .net 2.  That
didn't go so well, so I did "winetricks dotnet20".
Then it aborted with a "invoked runtime incorrectly" dialog,
so I did "winetricks vcrun2005".  That failed because
some boot time thing was unhappy, so I wiped .wine,
did "winetricks vcrun2005 dotnet20", and reinstalled the
app.  That did the trick.  The app now installs and 
starts up.  However, when you try to log in to the trial
database, it complains it can't create an activex component,
and doesn't work after that.

Running winetricks dotnet20 wsh56 mdac28 jet40 allows the application to start
and to work properly from my limited testing. The application expects the
presence of Scripting.FileSystemObject which is provided by the Windows Script
Host, so it's likely a duplicate of bug 9638 and/or bug 12881.

Hello,

"Simply Invoice V2" works fine with following recipe:

$ bash winetricks -q dotnet20 mdac28 jet40 gdiplus

(gdiplus due to bug 23759)

Windows Scripting Host component was not needed from my limited testing
(startup, open database, creating new invoices ...).
Maybe this dependency was present in earlier version of "Simply Invoice"?

The crash from comment #2 was probably fixed some time ago (search bugzilla
comment field 'IdentityNotMappedException' on closed bugs).

$ sha1sum  Setup\ Simply\ Invoice.exe 
93ddb0234ee68e0403f35703ac38d79969ebea47  Setup Simply Invoice.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.3.34-295-g4918d91

Hello,

due to bug 23759 fixed, "gdiplus" can now be removed from prerequisites list.

$ bash winetricks -q dotnet20 mdac28 jet40

Anyway, marking this bug fixed as the app works as intended from limited
testing.

$ du -sh Setup\ Simply\ Invoice.exe 
3.5M    Setup Simply Invoice.exe

$ sha1sum Setup\ Simply\ Invoice.exe 
a0d9e61decbef1938bb0b24d0de6ac9c6fbca7e8  Setup Simply Invoice.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.5.1-197-g73e7346
