[Wine] wine and aladdin hasp hardware dongle

[frk]

Hi,
I have shifted to linux fews months ago with a great satisfaction and i don't want to use windows anymore. But... i need to use a windows program protected by a dongle. I had tried wine without succeed to run it, so i tried virtualbox but it does not support parallel port, so I'm back to wine !.

The problem is that the dongle driver cannot be installed, it returns me :

Installing the Device driver failed, the error message is :
Failed to query processes accessing the driver
Failed to query the registry

I can also use shell command with options like: wine HINSTALL.exe -option

I have tried some option without success. But a different message appear when i have tried like this :

Failed to write the hasp value in the DOS devices key in the Database Registry
Failed to open registry0x200200a 0x10001 0x2

despite the error, the -info option returns that the driver is installed !. But my program refuses to run and returns HASP device driver not installed (-100). So i'm stuck!

I'm a beginner in Linux and of course with wine. Is there any solutions or tricks to go ahead ?

driver HASP 4.81
Linux Ubuntu 8.04
Wine 1.0

Thank a lot,
Frank

Currently Wine does not support any sort of hardware driver. So the short answer for you - no it won't work on Wine.

There is some work being done to support USB dongles but it's not yet committed. And might take some time before those patches will make it into Wine.

Thank you very much for your replies.

I'm going to try USB/parallel convertor and redirect the HASP driver to usb, inside Virtualbox. But i would be happy to use wine instead. I will wait...

Someone actually posted a patch to wine-devel for support of USB dongles - it might be worth a try...
