My problem is that the program TPB reader (http://www.daisy.org/tpbreader/download.asp?lang=en), a DAISY book reader, crashes in different exotic ways. It fails in different ways depending on if I run it in wine or crossover.
In crossover the application starts but displays the error:
Run-time error '287': Application-defined or object-defined error.If I enable some more output (CX_DEBUGMSG=err+all,fixme+all), then it behaves differently. Now I get:
Run-time error '-1 (ffffffff)': Automation errorAfter a few seconds another one pops up:
Run-time error '448': Named argument not foundThe first error can also be replicated by piping debug output to a file. I managed to get dumps of both cases (cx1.dump, cx2.dump).
Now the question is if anyone here can give me a guess at what the problem is? Our primary concern is too determine if it will require more effort to fix wine/crossover to support this application or to write a new, native DAISY reader. So just being able to determine which function is lacking would be a tremendous help.
This looks like a VB app, correct? It sounds like it would be quite a bit of work to write a native DAISY reader. My guess is that the error is coming from dlls/oleaut32/typeinfo.c:ITypeInfo_fnInvoke. It could be caused by another oleaut32 function as well though. I don't have time to debug the issue myself, but I can give you pointers for where to look if you want to debug it yourself. Alternatively, I can also direct you to the CodeWeavers website if you would consider paying us to get the application working for you.
