[SOLVED] Problems running dvdrebuilder in wine

[freebird73717]

Hello,

I'm trying to get dvdrebuilder to work in wine. I know that it works for others but for some reason I'm getting no joy. It installs just fine but when I try to start it I get "starting DVD Rebuilder" for a few seconds then nothing.

I have followed the instructions here. I also copied the following files into the system32 directory of wine.

mfc42.dll, msvcp60.dll, advpack.dll, asycfilt.dll, comcat.dll, msvbvn60.dll, oleaut32.dll, olepro32.dll, stdole2.tlb. All of these need to be placed into the .wine\drive_c\windows\system32 folder

There were a few of those files already in the wine system32 directory so I didn't replace those files. Should I have?

Any help would be appreciated!

Run it from the command line to get the error message for the missing/faulty dlls. You'll want to cd to $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/whatever and run it from there

wine dvdrebuilder.exe (or whatever it's called)

Can't say I've personally used the program since it first came out (how many years ago?). I'm the manual type of person myself. Although I did run doitfast4u with wine a year or 2 ago. I've managed to get native Linux tools to (somewhat) get the same job done.

Haven't used wine since I moved to 64bit. Not missing it either .

Thanks for the tip of starting with terminal. It did help to solve the problem. Even though I followed the tutorial correctly it seemed there were problems with OLEAUT32.dll loading so I copied that from my windows partition and replaced wine's copy of OLEAUT32.dll (after making a copy first!) and it worked.

Once again many thanks Disturbed1. I am learning a lot from your posts!

Love those easy fixes

Every program I launch for the first time, I always do it from the command line. Just to read the output, and see whats going on.

Helps to trouble shoot some issues. Like why Avidemux xvid encoding was so slow in Ubuntu. It was using an old version of the codec that didn't support multi-threading.

It's even so much more helpful when attempting to get stuff to run with wine.
