newbie linux wine questiong?

[evilnone]

Ok I dont know if this a minor problem via a setting or tag im not setting or what.... but let me explain this real quick.

I am new to linux and the only thing I have not been able to get working yet is a program I have to use for work.. The program is called Teletracker online and it is a sales tracking program.

http://www.teletracker.com/downloads/413/ttsetupfull.exe

thats a link to it if it helps with my problem.

When I install it during the install a lot of messages where you would normally enter settings at are just blank... the text boxes are there when you scroll through them but there is no text on it anywhere. The buttons for next and back are also missing. If you continue on with the install (which I did thinking it would work afterwords) you are greeted with a program that loads up but has no text to setup.

I know I am new so I am asking for help (i did a lot of searching today too and have found nothing). All I did to install that was download the setup file double click it and have it open through wine. I have no other info to give unless you tell me how to get it... Can someone PLEASE help me this is the LAST thing I need to migrate to linux completely.

Instead of double-clicking it, run it from the terminal. That way, Wine will output any error messages to the terminal, which may explain what is going on:
cd /path/to/install/executable
wine install.exe

ok im getting alot of fixme stuff so i will just post it and see if you know what I need to do....

thats all of it...

[cogadh]

The "fixme" messages are usually just developer notes about incomplete or unimplemented functions in Wine. There is usually nothing you can do about them and most applications will get some of them every time they are run. The only actual error you got was this:
err:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Loading of typelib L"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\DAO\\dao2535.tlb" failed with error 2
It is looking for a database component that is not present in Wine. I think it is a rather old DB component as well (like circa 1997). You probably just need to install MDAC. I'd advise using WineTricks to do that:
http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

[evilnone]

ok when i try to do that i dont think it is going to fix my problems...

here is a screenshot

http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/4595/snapshot1oq7.th.png (http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot1oq7.png)

any idea why I can't even see the text?

[cogadh]

Ah, I see you have some desktop effects enabled. Wine doesn't play nice with that, which could explain the missing text. Turn off all desktop effects and try running the original install again.

[evilnone]

ok i turned off all visual effects (compiz at least not sure what else as u can tell im using sabayon and it comes preinstalled with a lot)

i still cannot see the text on the installs as well as can not see the text on winecfg... i am going to run this command after google...

rm -fr ~/.wine && winecfg

then reinstall if needed

[cogadh]

Just an FYI, I tried running the install myself and I was able to get full text on all the install dialogs, so I don't think it is a problem with Wine itself. The source of the problem is likely either something in your Wine configuration or your system configuration.

[evilnone]

well thats great.... how do i completely remove wine? and what settings should i be using for it? I thought I had it setup ok... i guess not...

edit:

when i do an emerge wine i get some warnings... looks like fonts... think thats the problem?

If fonts are screwed up in Wine, that would definitely explain what is happening. I've never used Sabayon, so I have no idea how their package management system works or how you would go about removing/reinstalling Wine.

[evilnone]

ok well just an FYI they use portage just like gentoo (its based off gentoo)

I am now able to get the fonts showing but I am running into another problem... basically when I log on to it, I get lag like crazy... I am thinking it has to do with that DB u said I need. I am going to try to reinstall winetricks i suppose

I will let you know though

[evilnone]

just an update.... the personal I was installing this for decided they liked Vista better so this is no longer being used or looked into. I do however think that wine1.0 runs this if i remember correctly not sure though there is a reports feature... anyways not needed but ty very much for the help
