Thank you You can get past that error by installing mdac28 with winetricks before running the installer. There's already a bug report for that problem, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13536 . Unfortunately, the app still won't start up, now complaining about being unable to find C:\windows\temp\twe-temporaryD2D2.twe (and that file doesn't exist). I noticed some ole errors in the console and tried dcom98, but that didn't help. That's as far as I can go with it at my admittedly limited skill level. If you can find a copy of the file that it's looking for (maybe in a Windows install), you could try copying it to Wine's C:\windows\temp directory and see if that's enough to satisfy the app. aarthurema Post subject: Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2009 2:40 pm Newbie User Control Panel Joined: Fri Feb 13, 2009 4:59 amPosts: 2 Thanks dimesio.
