Four years ago, I tested Kid Pix Deluxe 3 on wine: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2001/08/0287.html http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2001/08/0096.html Couldn't even install it.
Now that Wine's approaching 0.9, I figured it was time to try again. So I found the old disc, dusted it off, and gave it a shot. What a difference four years makes - it installs now! Oh, there were three bugs in the installer: (see http://bugs.winehq.org, bugs 3448, 3449, 3451) but nothing a determined user can't work around. This was particularly impressive, since the Kid Pix installer installs several other packages, including Quicktime.
Sadly, the resulting app fails to start. That's bug 3450: KPD3.exe aborts while loading, with message err:module:import_dll Library CONFIGIT.dll ... not found
Presumably that library was supposed to be installed by the installer, but wasn't.
While Kid Pix Deluxe 3 isn't free software, it's pretty cheap; you can get it for $2 online. But lots of schools probably still use copies of this app, and it makes a nice test, so it seems worth working on. (There's also a version of Kid Pix specialized for schools; that's different somehow, but I bet getting the retail version working will make it a lot more likely the school version will work.) - Dan
