Additional Comments

I mount the disc image to a mounting point and have wine configured to use that mounting point as D:\ Unfortunately at the moment I'm stuck using XP in virtualbox to make movies in 3DMM, because the sound issue prevents me from using 3DMM in Wine. I'm hopeful that this will be fixed, considering the 256 color bug is no longer an issue as of Wine 1.4. I also need the stability, because the movie files can get quite big (and 3DMM crashed when I tried opening a movie in the theater room). So close to working, if 3DMM can run with stability and no sound issues, I probably wouldn't need virtualbox anymore!

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

These instructions apply to Wine 0.9.61

Prior to 0.9.61 3DMM will not run.

step 1.
from your windows install
zip up c:\Program Files\Microsoft Kids

step 2. on GNU/Linux, from a terminal after installing the latest release of wine (http://winehq.org/download)

type:

wine winecfg

this initializes the ~/.wine directory for first use - ok next...

mkdir "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files"

and...

unzip 'Microsoft Kids.zip' -d "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files"

then:

wget http://jeffz.name/3dmm.reg && wine regedit 3dmm.reg

and finally

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Kids/3D\ Movie\ Maker/ && wine 3DMOVIE.EXE

and it will run - but, the only caveat is that Wine's support for the type of audio that 3DMM outputs to windows isn't 100% so you will experience a crash

The workaround for this is either disable your audio in winecfg or from a windows install copy c:\windows\system32\msadp32.acm to your GNU/Linux install then

cp msadp32.acm ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ && winecfg

when the winecfg dialog comes up, click on the libraries tab, add msadp32.acm in the field, set it to native only and click ok.

Wine 1.1.15 or newer relieves the requirement of using msadp32.acm from windows.
