Problem with compobj.dll.COSETSTATE

[Peter Barth]

Hi,

I try to run a French-learning software called Decouvertes.

Multiple problems I have, hopefully sombodey answers and can help:

o as a starting point I used the ODBC dlls delivered by the program, The
DB stuff works, but I would like
  to know, how to implement the wine-builtin ODBC support and which
driver this would be then

o once the program comes up, it generates a Win16Mutex timed out -
message. After a while it allows input and runs
   quiet good as it seems

o issueing an other task - dictionary - leedss to an exception related
to:

unimplemented function compobj.dll.COSETSTATE called in32-bit mode in
ole32.dll.so

There is a OLE2.DLL deliverd with the program, which has such a
function built in.

Question is, as a newbie to wine, how to tell wine, not to use
ole32.dll.so builtin but ole2.dll native. Rename ole32.dll.so,
reconfigure and recompile?

I would need assistance badly, probably somebody had a similar problem
before. The purpose for this is, that we try to establish Solaris based
system at
a school environment whithout involving Win2k/Citrix on a seperate
Application-Server. It would help tremendously if somebody becomes
involved with this.

Thank you very much

best regards

Peter Barth

Like this:

wine --dll ole32=n whatever.exe

Alternatively, try and implement the missing 16bit function. IIRC
CoSetState is a stub in the 32 bit code as well, it has little practical
value, so a simple stub function would solve this problem.

Bear in mind using native code as shown above may mean you need a
Windows license. I have no idea what the licensing is for the MS OLE
dlls.
