Using the RH9 RPM from the SF downloads area (wine-20040121-1rh9winehq.i686.rpm) This is my first serious attempt at getting a non-working app working, so if I am giving insufficient, or the wrong kind of, info, or am asking on the wrong list, or have not found the blindingly-obvious-to-everyone-but-me FAQ covering something then please point me at the right things. At my company, we have just purchased a spangly new Alcatel telephone exchange, and despite the exchange running Linux apparently (I am going to start work on obtaining the source next week ...), they have only a Windows client for managing this exchange. Thus Wine .... The management software (binary called pm5.exe) installed fairly easily and gets a long way in on execution but then stops making progress. It consumes pretty much all the CPU and when run with debug messages printed I get the following: fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub warn:heap:HEAP_ValidateInUseArena Heap 40220000: invalid in-use arena magic for 402576a0 warn:ole:create_marshalled_proxy Could not open named pipe to broker \\.\pipe\{46A9F31C-E868-11D4-8BC9-000102A831DC}, le is 2 [last message repeated indefinitely] There are two earlier instances of the first message, so I don't think that is the fundamental problem, but that is the first and only HEAP message, and the last message gets repeated endlessly. (full logs available on request). It also looks for, and doesn't find, ADVAPI32.dll. I am not a Windows person at all, so have no idea if the above dll is one that I should expect to find somewhere, or likely to be from the app itself. As for the pipe thing, I couldn't tell whether it couldn't connect because it couldn't make a pipe, or because it could but there was nothing at the end of it. (I am assuming the 'broker' is at the other end of the pipe.) Can anyone advance my state here? Cheers, Peter
