Re: msi file
Hi David, sounds good! It should've installed at ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CommSec Professional Trader/ You should be able to double-click on CommSecPro.exe and if the planets align at that exact second it should fire up perfectly!

Re: msi file
Ah, we're almost there! That error occurs when you're in the wrong directory. Make sure commsecpro.msi is in your home(~) directory. i.e. When you open Places > Home Folder you should see commsecpro.msi listed there. Open the terminal application. It should start in you home directory but just to check your in the right directory you can type: [CODE] ls commsecpro.msi [/CODE] should print out "commsecpro.msi" on the next line. This means you're in the correct directory. If it results in ls: cannot access commsecpro.msi: No such file or directory you're in the wrong directory and you'll need to "cd" to the correct one. Once you're in the correct directory try running [CODE] msiexec -i commsecpro.msi [/CODE] again. Once installed it doesn't seem to create an item in the wine menu so you can either navigate to the installation folder and double-click on CommSecPro.exe or edit the menu with the gnome menu editor. /*People installing can safely ignore this extended para...** My apologies Alex Fuller, you were perfectly correct, there is no glue between wine and mono at all. Though it is on the drawing board. By double-clicking on CommSecPro.exe mono executes the application completely independent of wine. Although the installer does seem to depend on wine libraries (winforms), I am unsure how far the interaction goes here. I was also incorrect in assuming dotnetfx.exe was an arbitrary part of Microsoft's .NET implementation. It is in fact the installer for version 1.1 of .NET I did try using this through wine but the installation was _VERY_ dirty and running CommSecPro.exe in this environment produced limited results as compared with running it under mono. ***/ I am encountering a problem with network connection now though, I suspect the problem lies with CommSecPro but, not being a member myself I cannot ask for technical support. Look forward to hearing how you went.

Re: msi file
Hi David, That's got me stumped I'm afraid. There's various reasons why "fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil))" could occur. Could you run [CODE] wine --version [/CODE] To tell us what version of wine you are using. I'm using wine-1.0-rc3. This may be the root of the problem. Thanks Alex, I believe there is a glue between mono and wine in the release candidate I'm using. Adding the Winforms mono libraries fixed a problem I had when I installed CommSecPro. If you're not using wine-1.0-rc3, I can only suggest you follow the instructions at: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb to add the wineHQ repository to apt. Then download Wine 1.0 RC3 Sorry I can't be more help, James On Wed, 2008-06-04 at 22:34 +1000, david wrote: > Hey James > I downloaded the Synaptic files and changed the mentioned line. > I'm not sure if I have moved the commsecpro.msi file to the right place > but here is the result of running > > msiexec -i commsecpro.msi > > thanks david > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ msiexec -i commsecpro.msi > fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil)) > err:msi:copy_package_to_temp failed to copy package L"commsecpro.msi" > fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030002 for > L"commsecpro.msi" > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ > > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ msiexec -i commsecpro.msi > fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil)) > err:msi:copy_package_to_temp failed to copy package L"commsecpro.msi" > fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030002 for > L"commsecpro.msi" > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ > > > > On Wed, 2008-06-04 at 21:41 +1000, James Collier wrote: > > msiexec -i commsecpro.msi > --- /* *INTERESTING FACT: * * Why are restricted formats and software bad? * * This is the first time in history someone else * * has decided where your music plays!* * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryXDhXqR-SE * */ My System: Ubuntu 8.04 GNU/Linux 2.6.24-17-generic x86_64 My website: https://launchpad.net/~james-collier412 www.morerowdy.blogspot.com Started: Thu Jun 5 10:25:15 EST 2008 -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: msi file
Hi David, I installed and ran commsecpro just to check it runs. So we'll get this working eventually. .NET is a technology developed by Microsoft to allow applications to developed quickly. The free software implementation of this is called Mono. It may be worth doing a little research on Mono yourself: www.mono-project.com So in order to make CommsecPro work we need a .NET environment. It's better to implement this with Mono rather than .NET. dotnetfx.exe is part of the Windows implementation of .NET and is useless by itself. We can install the required Mono libraries via the Synaptics Package Manger: -System > Administration > Synaptics Package Manager (You will need to enter your password) -Search for "Mono" -Select the following for *installation*: libmono0 libmono1.0-cil libmono2.0-cil libmono-cairo1.0-cil libmono-cairo2.0-cil libmono-corelib1.0-cil libmono-corelib2.0-cil libmono-corelib2.1-cil libmono-data-tds1.0-cil libmono-data-tds2.0-cil libmono-microsoft7.0-cil libmono-microsoft8.0-cil libmono-system1.0-cil libmono-system2.0-cil libmono-system2.1-cil libmono-system-data1.0-cil libmono-system-data2.0-cil libmono-system-runtime1.0-cil libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libmono-system-web1.0-cil libmono-system-web2.0-cil libmono-winforms1.0-cil libmono-winforms2.0-cil mono-common mono-runtime -Click the "Apply" button to install the packages. Unfortunately I can only guess at what libraries will be required! Ok, now onto the problem you alluded to when you tried to run the msi. That's caused by the Hardy kernel update that breaks something in Wine: http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem A workaround is on the above page. Run the following to apply the workaround: [CODE] sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf [/CODE] Find the line that reads: vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 and change it to: vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 Save the file. then run: [CODE] sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0 [/CODE] Now try "msiexec -i commsecpro.msi" again. By the way, you don't need to be in the wine tools directory. Move commsecpro.msi to your home directory and run msiexec -i commsecpro.msi from there. I hope I havn't confused you too much, if I have, let me know and I'll put something graphical on the web.

Re: msi file
David, I assume you've read or were the author of this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=602942 here you were almost on the right track! WINE comes with it's own msiexec!!! And they've thoughtfully placed it on the path. So all you have to do is: 1. Open a terminal (window) 2. cd ~/$my_windows_installers$ 3. msiexec -i commsecpro.msi This should produce the desired result, I'm not sure where dotnetfx.exe fits in but come back with your results. Hope that helps, James --- /* *INTERESTING FACT: * * Why are restricted formats and software bad? * * This is the first time in history someone else * * has decided where your music plays!* * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryXDhXqR-SE * */ My System: Ubuntu 8.04 GNU/Linux 2.6.24-17-generic x86_64 My website: https://launchpad.net/~james-collier412 www.morerowdy.blogspot.com Started: Tue Jun 3 19:25:26 EST 2008 -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
msi file
hello all Last year Ii tried to use a program called commsec protrader on Feisty to no avail. Now I have upgraded to Heron. commsec is an Msi. file I have also got dotnetfx.exe which is required to run the msi file. I have IE 6 in Wine. The dot net file refuses to be opened by IE 6 or any other program Ihave. Questions Is anyone running Commsecpro on Heron (Is it Possible) ? How can I run the .net file and thus the msi file. thank you regards david -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
