While looking around for windows benchmarks, I ran into http://www.mysimon.com/4520-6603_8-5020816-1.html which mentions a benchmark called Sandra. Sandra Lite is a free download available from http://www.sisoftware.net/?dir=dload&location=sware_dl_all There are two versions available for download: the one for win2k and up (done in 2006), and the one for win98 (done in 2004).
The win2k one installs, but fails silently on startup. Wine says: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SiSoftware/SiSoftware Sandra Lite XIb$ ~/wine-git/wine sandra.exe fixme:actctx:FindActCtxSectionStringW 00000000 (null) 2 L"msvcr80.dll" 0x337acc fixme:actctx:CreateActCtxW 0x33fa30 00000088 ... fixme:wintrust:WinVerifyTrust 0xffffffff {00aac56b-cd44-11d0-8cc2-00c04fc295ee} 0x33edc0 fixme:crypt:CryptVerifyMessageSignature stub: 0x33ede0, 0, 0x6e81d8, 4296, (nil), 0x33edc4, 0x33edc0 fixme:actctx:ReleaseActCtx 0xf00baa ... and exits.
The win98 one wants mdac 2.5 installed before installing, and fails to run because winscard.dll is not present. :-(
So I guess Sanda doesn't like wine much at the moment. - Dan
