HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

GNU/Linux distribution: Mint 12

To run TD Ameritrade's StrategyDesk program on a Mint 12 system using WINE 1.4, just copy the two missing, required dll files (MFC42.DLL and msvcp60.dll) into the drive_c/windows/system/ directory.

GNU/Linux distribution: Fedora 14

To run TD Ameritrade's StrategyDesk program on my Fedora 14 system using WINE 1.3.24, I followed the instructions on the Trading With Linux blog. I've reproduced the steps below. With StrategyDesk versions 3.4 and above, the steps in the blog were insufficient, so I ran the wine command in a terminal to view the output messages.

Newer versions of StrategyDesk require msvcp60.dll, so I used the Winetricks program to download and install the file for me. All the steps I took to get StragegyDesk running are detailed below.

Open a Terminal (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal).
Install wine.
```
sudo yum install wine
```

Download Winetricks script.Download Winetricks script.
```
wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
```
Make winetricks script executable.
```
chmod +x winetricks
```
Run winetricks.
```
./winetricks
```
In the Winetricks - choose a wine prefix window, select "Select the default wineprefix" and click OK.Â
Â
In the Winetricks - current prefix is windows, click on "Install a Windows DLL or component and click OK.Â
ÂIn the next window, select d3dx9, mfc40, mfc42 and vcrun6. Then click OK.Â

ÂDownload SetupStrategyDesk.exe from TD Ameritrade website.

wget http://www.tdameritrade.com/StrategyDesk/SetupStrategyDesk.exe

Run SetupStrategyDesk.exe using wine.
```
wine SetupStrategyDesk.exe
```
Apply font smoothing by downloading and running the winefontssmoothing_en.sh script. Select option 3, "Subpixel smoothing (ClearType) RGB".Â
On my old Intel graphics hardware -- 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01), I got a lot of black boxes over parts of the StrategyDesk program. To resolve this issue, I added the following key and string to the WINE registry by using the WINE Registry Editor.
Run StrategyDesk by double-clicking on the new icon on the desktop.
