HMRC 2009 Software in Wine ubuntu?

[higgylm]

Hi there,

First of all thanks for looking,

I have been using wine under ubuntu to run the HM Revenue & Customs Employer Software 2008 to file my tax returns.

Unfortunately HMRC have decided to change a few things in the new 2009 update of the software and I can no longer get it run under wine,

(Its probably a simple fix but I haven't the experience to sort it)

Anyway, here's the out from wine when calling the exe

Any Help is greatly appreciated,

SOLVED: After exploring the disk a bit more I discovered a native linux version of the software

The error log says that the program cannot find this file: MSVCP71.dll. You can download dll files free from this site:
www.dll-files.com.
Good luck.
