Hi, that does seem a little strange. It could be that there is something wrong with the package. How familiar are you with Linux? Familiar enough to know what CVS is and how to use it to get the bleeding edge version of wine, and enough to know how to compile it from scratch, if I pointed you to the guide that tells you how?

The version I'm running is from an RPM on winehq.com (I'm running Fedora Core 2). Also, I considered the .NET problem, so I compiled a little "Hello World" program in Visual Studio 6, which also produced this error. I don't know if perhaps VS 6 has been made to encorporate .NET libraries, but I was really surprised to see that program not work.
Someone else suggested trying an NT-based winver, which I found not to help.

One other thing I should add is that apparently .NET programs do not run under wine, or the few that do, exhibit problems like the one you are having, so that could also be causing your error.

Hello,
I'm fairly new to wine, and I've encountered a bit of a puzzle. I'm trying to run a data conversion application under wine, and I'm getting one consistant error:
[goodweb@kinase wine]$ ./ReAdW.exe Warning: unprotecting the first 64KB of memory to allow real-mode
calls. NULL pointer accesses will no longer be caught. This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
This program was written in VC++, compiled on WinXP using Visual Studio .NET 2003. It uses several proprietary dlls (it's something we *need* to use, though).
To test my wine installation, I tried copying a few Windows programs from another machine (sol.exe, namely): all programs I copied genereated the same output. I downloaded WinZip, however, and it installed perfectly. I had similar luck with the Mozilla activex control for Windows.
Does anyone know what could be causing this, and how to fix it?
Thanks!
