Hi,
I've been trying to install the SQLserver Client Tools with Wine 20030911 (on Redhat 9). The setup process fails near the beginning because it cannot install MDAC ("Setup is installing Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) ...").
It exits with a dialog that says "Installation of the Microsoft Data Access Components package failed. (-1)". The following console messages are displayed:
fixme:process:CreateProcessA (F:\standard\x86\other\sqlredis.exe,...): CREATE_SEPARATE_WOW_VDM ignored fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Security directory ignored fixme:process:CreateProcessA (E:\IXP001.TMP\setupre.exe,...): NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored fixme:string:MultiByteToWideChar MB_USEGLYPHCHARS not supported fixme:string:MultiByteToWideChar MB_USEGLYPHCHARS not supported fixme:string:MultiByteToWideChar MB_USEGLYPHCHARS not supported fixme:string:MultiByteToWideChar MB_USEGLYPHCHARS not supported
I can't install MDAC standalone (MDAC_TYP.EXE from microsoft's website) either, but I don't think that matters because SQLserver setup will always try to install MDAC.
Note that I have IE 5.5SP2 installed, and I think DCOM98 (I can't tell if that failed or succeeded) according to instructions in the WineHQ appdb. Wine is emulating "win98".
Any hints? Thanks
