Hi all,
I'm trying to get an old copy of MS publisher working with wine. But I get these errors. Could someone give me an idea what I'm missing?
How old a version of publish? Publish 1 (or was it 2? - the first shipped version) had major problems and used a completely different internal architecture than all other MS apps.. That was the version that MS bought from the original company and relabeled. There's no way at all to make that version work in wine. It barely worked in windows. Malloc faults resulted in a crash roughly hourly.
Publish 98 can be made to work with wine, just force the emulation to windows 95 (see the wine system.ini file).
Publish XP should 'just work' - it always has here.
I think its Publisher 1, I got it in 1993 for Windows 3.1. After I sent the first email I tried to run notepad and wine said that I did not have enough memory. I have 1gb so I think that I have something wrong with my config file. What do you think?
I think you have several different problems. First of all, that's the version of publish that I never got to work in wine or in crossover office. Badly written doesn't come close to describing that code, but it will do until I think of more profanity. As for the notepad problem... I think you need to re-read the wine docs. What happens (roughly - anyone who wants to can explain in more detail) is this; When you run a windows app thru wine it's sort of recompiled to run as native linux code. Wine isn't an emulator, in other words - so your configuration isn't really relevant. What MIGHT have happened is that your wine install got hashed somehow. Try reinstalling that. Another probability; windows notepad - or any other base piece of windows - is quite likely to have ugly crud direct from mickysoft in it to prevent exactly what you're trying to do - make mickysoft code run in a non-mickysoft environment.
