wine windows xp microsoft access runtime

Fri, 17 Nov 2017 13:30:13 +0100

Hi all,

I've been trying to get something to work in WINE that is the only thing of mine that currently doesn't work under Linux. I have some other programs installed in WINE that run fine so I've ditched Windows. The one thing I haven't gotten to work is the Windows portion of GedStar Pro, a program which extracts the data from some genealogy files and creates a database that can be used as the input to a fantastic viewer - again Gedstar - on my Android devices.

The program wouldn't even start until I installed the runtime package(s) for Microsoft Visual C++ for 2005, 2008 and 2010. This allowed the program to start. I also had to set the Wine configuration to Windows XP or a portion that let's you select the database to extract would fail. With that much done it will run and process and gedcom file. Trying to open one of the supported genealogy program's database files results in an error. It appears to need the Microsoft Access runtime but I haven't gotten it to work with the only ones I could find weren't just for 32-bit Windows like Windows XP. I've tried the 2010 version but it still fails.

I have had email contact from the developer (the program is frozen and may disappear altogether) with the suspicion about needing some database runtime package(s) and was told that would make sense as that database is an Access compatible database. So, I've been trying to find a version of the Access runtime that is for 32-bit Windows, in particular Windows XP compatible with the hope it will work. Just given the error and when it occurs it has to be when the program first tries to connect/open the database file. I could really use some help on this if someone has experience getting programs to run in WINE.

I've check the WineHQ site but can't find anything to help. It looks like I have gotten further with this than anyone has before. I feel like I am SO close. I had to use Windows XP in WINE or the database file selection doesn't allow me to even select the database for extraction. It will at least let me get that far using either Windows XP or Windows 2003 - but not higher - in the WINE config.

I know this is WINE "thing" but I'm hoping that it's ok to post this here and hope for help. If it makes any difference I'm running 64-bit Linux Sara.

Thank you!!

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

Interesting?

What does this mean?

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:04:02 +0200

This might no be the right place to ask this so I apologise if it isn't. My question is very probably a dumb qustion, but I don't know the answer. Okay here goes: What does this mean? I know it's a system email about updates, but at first it used to do the updates and the message would be different, now it doesn't do any of the updates at all and everyday the message is the same.

Wine 1.0 release

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:50:43 +0200

Quote:The Wine team is proud to announce that Wine 1.0 is now available.This is the first stable release of Wine after 15 years of development

and beta testing. Many thanks to everybody who helped us along that

long road!

While compatibility is not perfect yet, thousands of applications have

been reported to work very well. Check http://appdb.winehq.org to see

the details for your favorite applications.

Release Announcement

It's certainly been a while coming! Big milestone, though, for the project. Depending on your distro, it might be a while before 1.0 hits the repositories, so if you wish you can download manually.

Wine and Watts

Sat, 31 May 2008 00:12:33 +0200

This is more of a technical note I guess.

For the past 9 moths, I've been monitoring how much wattage my computer has used. I have logged average, min and max. Allways on the same system.

When it comes to wine, it used to (when I started the logging) make sure the computer needed a lot of power. It used to need about 350W (peaked on 381W) when I ran games and other heavy applications.

These days, when I run the same applications, it averages out on about 180W, a lot less than what it used to be.

I'm glad to see the progress wine has done.

wine vs win4lin vs vmware vs cedega

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 22:33:54 +0100

I am planning to purchase a license for win4lin sometime soon.

do the windows applications work better on win4lin compared to that of wine?

Mainly for dreamweaver cs3 and a few other applications.

I have another question regarding this.

I usually work with dreamweaver, mysql and coldfusion on windows. Dreamweaver has inbuilt coldfusion server behaviors. So if on working with dreamweaver, do i need to install windows version for coldfusion and mysql server again using win4lin or will it work by installing coldfusion and mysql on the linux system?

Windows Media Player 9 & 10 on Linux with Wine

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 11:47:11 +0200

I'm aware there are many open source multimedia tools that will play most audio and video formats on Linux these days but many people have come to like Windows Media player over the years. And while Xine and Mplayer will play most .WMV .WMA files, both of these players use Windows codecs that are copied into your /usr/lib/win32 directory. So if your currently happy using the closed source Windows Media codecs why not use the player as well.

Windows within Photoshop Not Minimizing

What might be causing a problem like this? (Sorry for the picture hugeness.)

Basically, whenever I minimize photoshop, the windows inside never minimize with it and they're always on top of all my other windows.

Creating a Launcher for a Program Installed with Wine

Wed, 22 Feb 2006 22:15:38 +0100

Program Installed: Photoshop 7.0

I would like to create a launcher on my desktop to run Photoshop. What would an example command 'syntax' for doing this?

I've tried:

wine
/.wine/____/ ____/
photoshop.exe

/.wine/____/____/
wine
photoshop.exe

When I double click on the new launcher, it seems like it's trying to do something (the hour glass shows up) but it never opens photoshop.

Help?

*The blank lines (_____) just represent the directory folders that lead to the one containing photoshop.exe.
