Re: [Now ns7] Dragon ns8 problem

Jean,

gentoo ; kernel 2.6.22 with alsa and alsa-oss; wine 20050524; NS 7 pref.

I've started going through this from scatch. So far I have got the  
installer to work by importing riched* from win2k and comdlg32.dll off a  
dll archive on the web.

used sidenet to set up the config only.

refered to frankscorner to install DCOM98 and to run installshield.

wine regedit to add string value 5.0.2014.0216 to following regkey.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

So far it installs without error but now on running wine natspeak I get

"cant find nstex50.dll"

this is odd since it is in the current dir.

This may be a result of my not having installed IE6 this time but still  
seems odd.

regards.

Hi,
I nearly totally gave up these days; tried all of wine ebuilds coming with
gentoo; on my system only  20050725-r1 allows me installing ns7 standard. So:

install quite all right, much quicker than the first times (without
DCOM98), no error messages.

When starting ns the first time, it complains about rpcrt4.dll missing,
got it from the dll archive on the web, then starts fine. 
But I have a difficulty when setting the sound level: when it is done, a
bell starts ringing and nothing seems to be able to stop it.
here's the log:

Thanks for comparing notes,

I seem to be having more trouble with wine than anything else at the  
moment.

I cant get fonts to be a readable size so I cant even run winecfg.

Too much swapping versions and something has got screwed up . I've  
uninstalled wine completely and renamed ~/.wine but even sidenet now fails  
to download IE6.

beware of NS saying things are missing. As Andreas noted yesterday NS is  
doing direct file detection so it may be that the buildin dll would do the  
job if it actually tried to load it !!

You will note for the DCOM and installl notes one of the dlls marked as  
native was this one , so it must be available somewhere.

You could use WINEDEBUG=+file  and grep the output to see just where it is  
looking for the file. Then use touch to create a null file that will fool  
the file check.

As for your bell, it should chime once. NO idea why it does not stop.

I'll try your wine version and see if I get anywhere.

Thanks.

Are you still using alsa ? I did not get anywhere until I used alsa-oss.

Sorry! It is comdlg32.dll, not rpcrt4.dll.
