What works
A decently complex application built with Visual Basic works well with Wine 1.1.41.
The following works:
- Applications using Microsoft Data Environment Instance 1.0
- Applications using ADODB (Testing)
- Applications using MSSQL via ODBC or via OLE DB
- Applications using MySQL via ODBC or via OLE DB
- Applications using 'Printer' class
- Applications using Crystal Reports 8.5 ActiveX
To get it working, I had to do the following:
1) Install 'mdac_typ' using 'winetricks' as the application was using Activex Data Objects (ADO) ADODB.RecordSet.
3) Install 'dcom98' using 'winetricks' as Wine 1.1.41
What does not
- A third party OCX control called ':) VB Skinner' (testing)
Workarounds
What was not tested
Pretty much everything else.
- A call to Visual Basic function 'DoEvents' make the application consume 100% cpu and not return in Wine 1.0.1.
-
When accessing fields with name in ADODB.RecordSet an error comes up
saying that the requested column is not found even though when
enumerating the fields collection, the column clearly exists. This
happened with Wine 1.0.1 and the bug was solved when Wine 1.1.26 was
installed.
