Wine , activeX component registering error (error 429)

[geekbeek]

Hi all,
I have been trying to install a VB application into linux
through wine. The application almost installs but it says tha it
cannot register the DLL - scrrun.dll . I added the scrrun.dll and regv32 .exe from the system32 of windows into linux. Then also I get the same error . When I ignore the error I get another error atlast that installation process cannot register activeX component.
Is the error because of permissions? I tried the installation as Root. I have windows installed on the same computer. Should I try the installation process with a fresh harddisk with Ubuntu,Wine installed?

What version of wine?
Which app is this?
Is a demo available?

If this was you,
Problem installing a VB application in wine under Ubuntu - id-ubuntu | Google Groups
the advice you got from Fuad may be useful -- sometimes winetricks
can help, if you know what you're missing. In particular, scrrun.dll
is part of windows scripting, so try installing that with

wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks vcrun6 wsh56

You might need to do something like 'sudo apt-get install cabextract' first.

Hi,
Thanks for your message. I will reply again after I try winetricks scripts.

Best place for advice is WineHQ Forums Index
When you post there, be sure to say what vb6 app
you're running, what version of linux and wine you're
using, and what exact error message you're seeing.

If you're not using wine-1.1.33, you may want to upgrade,
it's much better than 1.0.
