Poker Tracker Hold'em

What works

installs OK, using the how-to from http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11030&iTestingId=21535

What does not

The application will not start under wine, as of beta 11. Beta 10 still works for me as did all other beta that I tested.

When I start the app I get a dialog box that says:

For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again.

The command line messages are:

$ wine PokerTracker.exe
fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000100, 00000001): partial stub.
fixme:reg:RegSetKeySecurity :(0x7c,4,0x399f58): stub

 

I have communicated with the lead developer who informs me that beta 11 was the first version that had the copy protection software installed. That software is "Software Passport." which apparently also uses the name Amadillo.

Additional Comments

1. Install postgresql under linux, using appropriate method
   
• Under Debian/Ubuntu, it would be #apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client
2. Create a new prosgresql user
• #su
• #su postgres
• #creatuser -P username          (-P to set a password)
• #exit & #exit                            (exit su, come back to normal user)
  
3. Wine stuff
• #wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
• #chmod +x winetricks            (to execute the script)
  
• #./ winetricks fakeie6
• #./winetricks mdac28
4. Install Windows Postgresql driver
• go to http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions
• Choose Msi
• Choose the "good" file and Download it, in my case I chose psqlodbc_08_03_100.zip
• Unzip
• #wine msiexec /i psqlodbc.msi
  
5.  Done ! you can now launch PokerTracker3

Windows version has to be Windows2000 to work properly

Otherwise, you my encounter bug #13178
