Minitab 14, hardy, wine

[issueperson]

I am a Wine newb so I am sorry if I am asking a question that should be obvious.

I am trying to get Minitab 14 to work in Wine (the AppsDB on Wine says it worked on an older version). But after what seems like a normal install, Minitab will not run. The icon appears on the taskbar like it is trying to run, then disappears.

Here is what happens in the terminal:

bash:~:$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/brady/.wine" wine "Z:\home\brady\Programs\.minitab\mtb14.exe"
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {78a51822-51f4-11d0-8f20-00805f2cd064} not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {78a51822-51f4-11d0-8f20-00805f2cd064} not registered
err:ole:create_server class {78a51822-51f4-11d0-8f20-00805f2cd064} not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {78a51822-51f4-11d0-8f20-00805f2cd064} could be created for context 0x7
err:ole:CoFreeUnusedLibrariesEx apartment not initialised
err:ole:CoUninitialize Mismatched CoUninitialize


Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'll bump this for you as I'd like to see minitab up and running with wine on Hardy.

I don't know if it's the cause for the crash, but apparently this app needs pdm.dll. You could try copy it from a windowspartition to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
Then register it: 'regsvr32 pdm'

Maybe it helps , always worth a shot i'd say

Hi i'm trying to install minitab 14, i have wine 1.1.5 the installer starts and i get an error "1628: Failed to complete installation" after the 'preparing to install' dialog finishes. Any ideas?

Has anyone found a solution for running Minitab?

I think it has something to do with ole32 DLL overrides, but I cannot figure it out.

Thanks in advance...
