wine with a problem

Asked by Bruce M.

  I downloaded the windows file "i_view32.exe" from the homepage.

  It resides at: /home/bruloo/.wine/drive_c/programs/iview/i_view32.exe

  None of the support files, just the executable file. And with "File Browser" I did a right click and went to Properities > Open with > Wine Windows Emulator

  I can access Iview with the file browser no problem and it works well.

  Then came a right click on desktop > Create Launcher

  Basic:
  Name: I-View
  Type: desktop configuration file
  Size: 177 bytes (177 bytes)
  Location: /home/bruloo/Desktop
  MIME type: application/x-desktop
  Modified: Sat 22 Sep 2007 - 09:49:00 PM ART

  Emblems - none

  Execute: [*] Allow executing file as program
  SELinux Context: unknown
  Last changed: unknown

  Notes - none

  Launcher:
  Description: I-view
  Command: wine "c:\programs\iview\i_view32.exe"

  That put Iview on my desktop with a "no-icon" icon

  But when I click on it terminal opens saying:

fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"

  Then Iview opens and I can use it as per normal.
  Hitting the close button [x] in either terminal or Iview closes both programs.

  Any ideas on how to correct the problem issued by terminal?

  BTW: I'm using iview to "teach myself" how to use wine and windows programs. I really don't need it as "gthumb" does what iview does. Following in line with my needs anyway.

Command should be changed from:
Command: wine "c:\programs\iview\i_view32.exe"
to:
Command: wine "/home/bruloo/.wine/drive_c/programs/iview/i_view32.exe"

Let me know how this fares.

actually the command wine "C:\programs\iview\i_view32.exe" is fine, the 'problem' the terminal is talking about is just one of the many many errors in wine, its not finished yet :) you can safely ignore it just fine :)

It gave the same error and Iview took longer to start.

According to "wineusr-guide.pdf" page 19 my
"c:\programs\iview\i_view32.exe" is correct.

I guess there arre two ways of doing it.
