Need help installing some software

[Anthony Joseph Seward]

I need help installing some software. I've tried with Red Hat's version
of wine, Transgaming's version, and the CVS version (latest try is
wine-cvs-opengl-120902-1 from http://wine.dataparty.no/).

I get different results with all of them.

Could anyone do a walkthrough with me using any of the above versions?

Sometimes it seems like there is just a registry problem, other times it
seems like a problem in the code.

To me, it is very vague what you want. Generally, to install an
application in Wine, you cd into the directory containing the
installation setup.exe file, and then type "wine setup".

Does "some software" have a name? Is it downloadable?

You have successfully installed Wine and other applications work?

Please give error messages, not "different results", "registry problem",
and "seems like a problem in the code".

More detail is always better. When in doubt, include it.

Oops. I meant to reply to the list.

problems with both the legacy installer and the MSI installer.
I am trying to give whoever wants to help the chance to choose their
weapon. When I've tried to get help with wine over the past year or so
the initial response is usually 'try it again with version X', version X
being the version that the respondent uses. Choose your version and
I'll give you the appropriate details.
Thanks,

I am certainly not an expert on that part, but as far as I know, as a
general rule a Windows device driver will not work in Wine (there are
some very limited exceptions).

Unfortunately, that is sometimes required. However, as a general rule, I
think you will find that the people most knowledgable about Wine will be
using a current CVS from winehq. Yes, that requires a bit of additional
effort to setup and learn, but once setup, it is very easy to use and
upgrade with. In my case, current CVS on Redhat 7.3.

The software in question is the Win2K version of a device driver for a
USB hardware key: http://www.rainbow.com/support/eu_support.htm. I get
problems with both the legacy installer and the MSI installer.

Ouch, the Sentinel driver. I am assuming you are also going to need to
run some additional licensing software such as Flexlm? I think you are
going to have major headaches trying to get that running in Linux/Wine.

Unfortunately, I keep an old machine stuck in a corner around here
running WinNT and a Sentinel/Flexlm license server, which is the only
thing I use it for.

Post by Anthony Joseph Seward
I was under the impression that VXD drivers won't work and there are no
plans to support them in part because the 32-bit drivers should be
easire to support. There have been a couple of posts to the newsgroup
saying that drivers for NT might work.

My understanding is that anything that attempts to talk directly to
hardware is a problem, because Linux does not allow user programs to
talk directly to hardware. Then again, I could be way off there.

I may not have things set up quite correctly for the CVS version because
I seem to get farther with the transgaming version. With the
transgaming version I get to a place where it thinks I should have
administrative rights and thinks that I do not. I would prefer to use
the CVS version since Red Hat tracks this.
OK, with the CVS version on Red Hat 8.0 and using the MSI version of the
installer, I get an error box from Install Shield saying '1611: Unable
to extract the file (null).'

I get exactly the same error box when running the installer. So I think
you likely have Wine setup correctly. I notice that the error box occurs
immediately after:

...

The rest of the trace is cleanup before the installer exits. And it has
in fact written out the installer files:

The 1145 repetitions of ReadFile/WriteFile are creating the
Sentinal*.msi file, and it is created correctly.

So that particular problem should be able to be debugged pretty easily.
As a wild guess, I would not be surprised if having things like
parentheses in a filename caused problems for Wine. I'll take a look at
it over the next few days. Unfortunately, I am not so hopeful about
getting Sentinel to work, but hopefully some other folks will comment on
that. My Sentinel device is a parallel port key.

Ouch, the Sentinel driver. I am assuming you are also going to need to
run some additional licensing software such as Flexlm? I think you are
going to have major headaches trying to get that running in Linux/Wine.
Unfortunately, I keep an old machine stuck in a corner around here
running WinNT and a Sentinel/Flexlm license server, which is the only
thing I use it for.

I don't think that it uses Flexlm (the software in question is ZEMAX
http://www.zemax.com/). In any case I have already had major headaches.

My understanding is that anything that attempts to talk directly to
hardware is a problem, because Linux does not allow user programs to
talk directly to hardware. Then again, I could be way off there.

I'm trying to use a USB key. I'm hoping that this will decrease the
chance that the driver does things not-approved of by the Windows API.

I may not have things set up quite correctly for the CVS version because
I seem to get farther with the transgaming version. With the
transgaming version I get to a place where it thinks I should have
administrative rights and thinks that I do not. I would prefer to use
the CVS version since Red Hat tracks this.
OK, with the CVS version on Red Hat 8.0 and using the MSI version of the
installer, I get an error box from Install Shield saying '1611: Unable
to extract the file (null).'

I get exactly the same error box when running the installer. So I think
you likely have Wine setup correctly. I notice that the error box occurs
...

The rest of the trace is cleanup before the installer exits. And it has

Thanks for the help. You might have a look at the code in transgaming's
version. When I use that I can install the VxD driver with no
problems. When I try and install the NT driver it says that I need
administrator privileges and exits.

Reading you trace, I would say : "Why not use native cabinet.dll for
the moment ?" ;)

And that does indeed allow the installation to proceed, using Win98 DLLs
at least.

I've made a log file from when I try and install the Win2K DLLs (using a
native cabinet.dll). I've split it up into manageable pieces. I think
the problem occurs during the second of the four logs. The call to
user32.MessageBeep is in there. I really don't know what to look for so
this is about as far as I can get without some hints.

You can find the log and a short description file at
