adwords editor ubuntu

[gbinal]

Good news, folks.

I'd hit the same roadblocks as above, reaching the 'Couldn't Load XPCOM' error after a successful install (Thank you, Jonathan Métillon). The solution though, is described at the bottom of this page:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...estingId=18654 (courtesy of a saint called Xin).

At issue are two missing windows files:


msvcp71.dll
msvcr71.dll

By googling the file name, I found options that allow you to download those two files. That is what I did, though if you have a windows machine, you can install Adwords Editor on it, then look in c:/Windows/system32. Once you have these files, then:

...copy them to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 under your home director [Note that on my computer, I had to copy them to /home/username/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32 ]

6) start winecfg [I just type winecfg in terminal]

7) click on libraries tab. Add those two libraries. Set to 'native,builtin'. When adding libraries, simple type in the name(without .dll) and click on add.

8) try 'wine adwords_editor.exe' again, and after 10 seconds of loading, it should work!

Also note that in terminal, I had to change directory to /home/username/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Google/Google AdWords Editor before typing 'wine adwords_editor.exe' but by this point, the Adwords Editor entry under Wine in my Main Menu was working fine.

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and using Adwords Editor 7.0.

Thanks to everyone above for helping me figure this out.

New adwords editor 7.5 does not function under 9.04. After started, it displays
multiple runtime errors R6034 followed by "Couldn't load XPCOM".
In the console log i see:
...
fixme:actctx****_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT"

The above trick with replacing DLLs doesn't help anymore. Any ideas?

I am new to using the command line with Ubuntu. Learning how to run Wine is changing that. I am hoping someone can help me with a few questions. In the solution at the quoted link, the proper command reads:

When trying to run wine adwords_editor.exe you will get several "R6034" errors and one "Couldn't load XPCOM" error.

Solution (tested on Ubuntu 9.04):

apt-get install cabextract
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
./winetricks vcrun2005 vcrun2005sp1

Now wine adwords_editor.exe works.

My questions. Do you have to type sudu to assume administrative powers? From what I am understanding from Ubuntu Kung Fu, root administrative powers precede the command 'apt-get'.

how exactly do you enter the prompts outlined here?

line by line?
apt-get install cabextract
then
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine winetricks

or do you enter all the text as one long prompt?

Does this make sense?

I am running release 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.

Google Adwords Editor is the only application that I have missed since I switched to Linux. I have tried this in the past, with no success, but now, it works!! Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Here is exactly what I did:

1. Installed Wine. From the terminal:

$ sudo apt-get install wine

2. Then I found the latest version information for Wine and followed the guide here (in my case for Hardy):

http://www.winehq.org/download/deb

3. I waited for Ubuntu Update Manager to tell me I had an update and then let it install.

4. Next I ran "Configure Wine", which on my system is:

Applications -> Wine -> Configure Wine

5. Wine Config threw an alert that I needed something (sorry missed what it was) but it proceeded to download it. I let it finish. Now my Wine version (under the "About" tab) is: Wine 1.1.36

6. Back to the terminal, I navigated to the "C:" drive, which on my system is:

$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c

7. Created a directory for the Adwords Editor installation files:

$ mkdir ADWE_Install

8. Found the latest Windows version of Adwords Editor on the Google site, and downloaded it to the directory I created. Just "Google it" and download to the right place.

9. Changed to the install directory:

$ cd ADWE_Install

10. Confirmed that the file is there, by:

$ ls

The installation file is: adwords_editor_en-US.msi

11. Typed the following to install:

msiexec /i adwords_editor_en-US.msi

12. Followed the instructions, accepted the license etc.

13. Ran Adwords Editor:

Applications -> Wine -> Programs -> Google Adwords Editor -> Adwords Editor

That's it!! It works. At least on my system. The fonts look like hell, but I don't care.

This is my first post. I really hope this helps somebody.

Just tested with Ubuntu 9.10

Install Wine from regular repos:

sudo aptitude install wine

Get winetricks script:

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

Install vcrun2005:

sh winetricks vcrun2005

Download AdWords Editor from google
http://www.google.com/intl/en/adwordseditor/

and install it:

msiexec /i adwords_editor_en-US.msi

That's it!

Thanks gual0s that worked great!

[xndrei]

AWESOME ! one more fear disappeared ...

[DutchSherpa]

After entering the msiexec command, an alert pops up: "Invalid command line parameters". What can be the cause? Thanks in advance.
(I am using Lucid, all updates installed, etc.)

I can confirm that gual0s' solution also works with Ubuntu 10.04
