Thanks (Monkey Island 4 success)
by Robert Bihlmeyer 26 Dec '03

26 Dec '03

After abstaining from commercial games for a couple of years I found three Windows games under the Christmas tree this time. I was a bit nervous as I no longer have a working Windows partition. I only tried one game (Esacape From Monkey Island) so far and it was a shattering success. I did have to read some Wine docs and fiddle around with settings for half an hour, but after that the game runs flawlessly in its OpenGL mode. I'm skipping further details[1] as this mail's main purpose is to *thank* you all for the great piece of work that Wine is! Merry Christmas, or whatever makes your holiday, -- Robbe [1] I'll post these to appdb.winehq.org, and of course will answer mail if anyone wants to know more.

Wine/Agent freezes with deadkeys
by Gerhard W. Gruber 26 Dec '03

26 Dec '03

I' m running KDE 3.1.4 and as keyboard I have the US w/deadkeys activated to get german umlauts. I noticed frequent freezes in Agent when I typed new messages and now I know when it happens. I have to press the ' or " key in order to get accented chracters or Umlaute. When I press this key Agent freezes, I can see a defunct wine prozess and I have to kill the wineserver. I haven' t seen anything on the console though. No errormessage or nothing. Now I switched to normal US keyboard and, as you can see above, I can use these characters. -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pice Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu

Re: Easy IE installer script
by Ivan Leo Murray-Smith 25 Dec '03

>It may be that installing IE under Wine at all is outside the IE license. I've been told by M$ Italy that if I have a windows license for my pc, I can install any M$ windows OS component, such as media player or IE, even if windows is not installed. The important thing is that one must have the license, that's why I think the script should get the files from the windows CD. Ivan.

Frustration
by Zimler Attila 25 Dec '03

25 Dec '03

Hi, I'm triing to find an error to work on. I was happy that so many people gave me hints on what should be fix. I tried to understand things but, it seems that this is to big thing for me at this moment. Could somebody assign me a little task in a bigger which (s)he is working on? And explain details on that. It seems that I need a "virtual" boss while learning wine hacking. Attila

This sound at last like a reasnoble solution, even if it could be kept M$ free by using the users windows CD. > > By the way, I'll check it later, but I think that if you use IE in your > application than you are allowed to also distribute the IE setup, > provided that you use the original M$ setup where the user presses on > the Agree to the M$ EULA You would need a redistributable, but it isn't on the M$ download site, so I'm not sure it exists. This is really not an issue, as the user can download it from M$. You could use the example of the NTFS captive driver, just ask the user if he has a windows license, if he answers yes, download the setup from the M$ web site, and if the user doesn't have a license it's his problem. Also M$ can't claim the download is illegal, as they host it. Ivan.
