Hi all,
despite my inital problems with the setup.exe of Naturally Speaking 8 wanting to install and USB 2 (EHCI) stack which failed due to "OS not supported" I found out that it is possible to run the .msi Microsoft Installer manually:
Install the Microsoft Installer as downloadable somewhere at microsoft.com:
wine InstMsiA.exe
cd /media/cdrom # or where your wine CD-ROM is wine msiexec /i ISScript9.Msi # some script engine needed wine msiexec /i "Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8.msi"
However the I still tinker to start the real applications when installed ...
The audio.exe works - itz can adjust the microphone gain and I get a signal to noise ration of 24.
However starting natspeak.exe yields:
$ wine ./natspeak.exe fixme:vxd:VXD_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD L"bcmdmccp.vxd". Try setting Windows version to 'nt40' or 'win31'. fixme:vxd:VXD_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD L"smartvsd.vxd".

Try setting Windows version to 'nt40' or 'win31'. fixme:vxd:VXD_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD L"siwvid.vxd". Try setting Windows version to 'nt40' or 'win31'. Segmentation fault (core dumped)
When I set the winver to nt40 I get:
$ wine natspeak.exe err:seh:setup_exception nested exception on signal stack in thread 0009 eip 401b06a9 esp 401d3cf8 stack 0x405d0000-0x406d0000
...
Idea anyone? Yours,
