Additional Comments
Data access seems to be the problem on this software. However it seems wine will handle that soon in next releases.
You can launch the help files externally as well as the videos. However, The "video" section does not launch as it cannot find the video.
It can install on wine, however it detects some sort of error and
deletes all the files. Depending on the installer version, you may have
to run it in a virtual desktop. On wine 0.9.43 , on a win98 fresh
config, it will attempt to install Dcom. wine will stop the process and
complain. You can then rename the directory so the files dont get
deleted. You may need some japanese
true font types. It is possible to fool the app into thinking that
it is reading the from the lesson CD when it is
actually reading from the disk (tweak on .wine/config ) and make it run a
lot faster than on windows .
the app is pretty much very usable and works at
90%. What does not work :
can't play the few videos included in the
lessons (quartz.dll is a stub), but those are mpg and can be played
externally. Calling winhelp does not work. Bad audio config will make
the app crash. I use OSS standard hardware acceleration and the speech
recognition software runs very nicely, without crashing.
