CardVault and Linux

[stend at spamcop.net]

Has anyone gotten CardVault to run with Wine in Linux? CardVault
seems to install fine, but trying to run it results in a dialog
"Failed to access pre-defined resources.".

Thanks, Sten

Is the message from Wine or CardVault?

Cardvault does require the MSXML Libraries to be installed. Does Wine
support these?

Does Wine support a Registry?

I'm guessing here, but I've been a programmer for more than 20 years
so I'm trying to use best guess knowledge. No, I don't use linux more
than occasionally.

After looking at the source code, it appears that the error message you
quoted occurs when CV cannot load resources that should reside within the
executable. Obviously, that should never happen. In fact, that's one of the
few messages that I would find surprising under Wine.

Did you install CV normally and then try it? Or did you manually copy
things into place at some point (or move CV to a different folder). Did you
use the latest V1.0b version?

I'm grasping at straws here, since I don't have a Linux machine to test
with. Please give me as much detail as possible and I'll strive to think of
something to suggest.

Thanks, Rob

1. The message is from CV.

2. CV should NOT require MSXML in any way, shape, or form. What situation
prompted this claim? Is there something I didn't think of? Please help me
to understand, since there should be no reliance on MSXML.

3. Wine is supposed to be a "complete" port of Windows under Linux. Army
Builder runs fine under Linux, so I had assumed that CV would also.
However, I never actually tried it (for lack of a Linux machine).

I would LIKE CV to run properly under Linux, so please let me know if
anyone uncovers something specific that can be addressed within V1.1 to
correct any existing problems.

Thanks, Rob

Sorry, I'm also testing gEngine. Just got the install requirements for
it and CV mixed up.

Wine doesn't necessarily behave exactly like Windows, since it is a
reimplementation of Windows APIs that sometimes has to be bug-for-bug
compatible. :) Unfortunately, Card Vault 1.0b has the same problem running
under Wine. Do you have any idea what data I might be able to collect that
would be of use to you? I appreciate your interest in having it work
properly, but from a personal perspective it isn't a pressing issue - while I
prefer using Wine, I also have Win4Lin for circumstances like this, and Card
Vault is running quite nicely there. :)

Thanks, Sten

Belay that, it just decided to delicense me, and I don't have the clamshell
handy. Grrrr!
