Both customers went to a web site called WineTricks from That is fairly trivial to figure out. Start your app with Wine on the command line and it will crash with an exception: Call from <address> to unimplemented function MSVCP60.<function>
Once you have those please open a bug on http://bugs.winehq.org/ for them. > where they were able to install an alternative version of MSVCP60.dll. > My app now gets past the place where it previously crashed although it > now crashes further on... :-( > > It looks as if the MSVC6 runtime module(s) that now come with Wine > aren't the same as the ones from v0.9.58. Either they're different MSVCP60.dll wasn't available in wine-0.9.58. It was introduced in wine-1.3.19. They were probably using the dll that came with your app or installed it from somewhere else. > versions of the Microsoft DLLs or maybe they're now being implemented by > somebody else, perhaps as part of Wine development?

For example, do Open the bug reports :) If there is a free downloadable version/demo that exhibits the same issues please add it to the "URL" field. bye michael
