Yeah, I'm that damn good -
now that the gloating is over I guess I should give an explanation. In a recent topic ([link]) Flame Sage mentioned how WINE failed when it was trying to emulate riched20, after scouring the web for it I found the file at dlldump.com I copied it to my 'fake windows drive' (that's /home/yourname/.wine/drive_c/windows/ for those that don't know), that still didn't help all that much so I began messing with WINE some more. To cut a long story short you need the following .dll files in your fake windows drive:
If you don't have these .dlls you can grab them from the site I linked to. hmm, LRS anyone?

There is no way in hell it is as simple as a few DLLs, if it is, I will laugh my butt off at everyone for not figuring this out faster. I will test this tonight and possibly have DS running, only a little time will tell.

Installing the DLLs got it working for me under Mandrake,MEPIS and Gentoo, well.
[EDIT] If it doesn't work maybe I could send you a tar.gz of the 'windows' folder, so you could compare it? |

I run Ubuntu on my laptop, so I can test it while still running windows on my desktop. If this works, you might see me switch over my desktop from windows to Linux(It is installed, but never touched). The two biggest things stopping me from using Linux full time is
A. Games, including BYOND B. Programming and Markup IDEs, including BYOND I have to be able to play WoW still, because if I didn't play WoW, my friends would kill me. I think that Cedega does WoW pretty good, so that probably isn't an issue. |

I love you.
[EDIT: Just a question before tonight, does sound work?] ALSO; maybe you could zip up those dll files for us? |
In response to Flame Sage
|
|
<s>yeah, sound works fine, what's your E-mail so I can send the tar.gz?</s>
<s>[EDIT] you also need the TGMarlett.ttf, though I could tar the whole 'windows' folder if you want me to.</s> [EDIT 2] The fonts.zip and System32.zip are on my hosted files, just unzip them to the fake windows folder and it should work fine. |

no luck here. running kubuntu 6.06, installed latest wine plus the fonts and dlls you provided.
downloaded latest BYOND (beta 5) and i get as far as the 'welcome to the BYOND setup wizard' and then it either crashes immediately, or crashes when clicking 'next'. what OS are you emulating? 98? XP? 2000? and which version of wine? debug trace, if interested: digitalmouse@whiterabbit:~/Desktop$ wine byond_3_5_beta_5.exe |

Also, I'm flattered you have my on your pagerlist. ;)

Wine Version 0.9.16
WineOS: Win98 DCOM98 is Installed, if that helps any. You may need WineTools installed with Ubuntu, unfortunately I don't have a Distro handy to test it out. [EDIT] Are you using a pre-packaged binary or compiling from source? |
In response to Talion Knight
|
|
pre-packages from an installer called Automatix (it's good for putting together all sorts of packages for Ubuntu distros).
i'll give the DCOM a try- it's not installed here. |

hmm, I downloaded the .RPM from the winehq.de sourceforge mirror - they have ubuntu as well as pure debian binaries mirrored as well, so I guess you could give that a shot!
http://www.winehq.com/site/download [EDIT] How are you Installing BYOND and the dlls? I did a quick check on Gentoo - It should be Installed something like this: WINE BYOND FONTS DLLS |
In response to Talion Knight
|
|
I get the same early termination of the installer. I updated wine to the newest version from their repositorys, so I can't see the problem there. I might try to run the old version I had installed with wine, it might even be the root of the early termination.
|
In response to Danial.Beta
|
|
I may have a solution for that - I could zip my BYOND directories and send it to you, If I'm allowed to do that?
|
In response to Talion Knight
|
|
I am attempting to uninstall Wine, remove all leftover files, then reinstall it, seeing if that will clean it out and let it run. I have no idea if I have made major modifications to wine or not.
|
In response to Danial.Beta
|
|
Ok, removing all BYOND related files and removing BYOND regestry entrys allowed me to reinstall it, currently finding those DLLs...
