Running on Linux

This is just to report that the latest build of WINE (20050211) fixes the screen refresh problem

So all you LINUX users can happily update to this latest version.

Just installed a new hard drive and in my computer, and I'm just running linux on it. When I tried to install Wave Corrector, I get an error message:

Access Violation at 77EC43DD. Write of address 0053004D.

Tried installing as both user and root.

Thanks for pointing this out. I must admit I have never used the installer to install Wave Corrector on a Linux PC. Instead, I have simply manually copied the Wavecor.exe file to the Linux machine.

I've just tried using the installer program and I get the same access violation that you report.

Doing a little Googling, I've discovered that the problem arises because the installer program in incompatible with Wine's built-in riched20 DLL.

The solution is to place a copy of the Windows DLL in the Windows/system folder on the Linux machine and to run the installer with the following command line

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="riched20=n" wine wcor_31.exe

Wow, that totally worked. I downloaded the .dll file from here:






Thanks for the tip.

by the way, the full path to put it into is:

/home/[username]/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/

Version 20050310 of wine makes it more or less work, but some of the buttons look funny. They still work, which is the important part. version 20050419 just came out, so I'll try that tomorrow. The delayed start input is broken again, too. I'm sure WINE will get around to fixing it, so I'll just be patient. I'm used to it using Linux!

Thanks for the post, Derek, that was really helpful.

Version 20050419 does indeed more or less fix the delayed start option trouble. There are no handy up and down arrows, but you can just use your keyboard arrow keys to change things. After rebooting the computer, the buttons and other graphics are fixed

By the way, I run Fedora Core 3 on my box, in case anyone is curious.
