WISO (Steuer) Sparbuch

Actually a comment for WISO steuer:Start2019 (which seems to be technically identical to steuer:Sparbuch2019): If you don't see any output, run winecfg and enable a virtual desktop under "Graphics". Took me hours to find this simple solution.

Does anybody know how to get a transmission report, especially for all the VAT related transmissions?

I had the same problem when trying to connect to Elster:
"Die ELSTER - Schnittstelle der Finanzverwaltung konnte nicht geladen werden."
This disappeared, after installing lib32-libldap as done by Florian. However, I did not
have to tweak any DLL settings.

I could install and use the WISO steuer:Sparbuch2017 but had some trouble getting the Elster Abruf to work.

Solution:
First of all i had to install it in a 32bit wineprefix and had to install lib32-libldap on my arch linux machine. After some further debugging I had to overwrite the libraries msvcp140 and vcruntime140 with winecfg. Afterwards the Elster Abruf worked like a charm.

Could you provide some more details of your solution? I'm specifically interested in:

* How did you determine that lib32-libldap was needed?
* What kind of debugging did you do and how did it lead you to the conclusion that msvcp140 and vcruntime140 needed to be replaced?
* What was the source for your replacement msvcp140 and vcruntime140?

Hi Matthias,

I had the same problem on ubuntu with wine3. I fixed it with the following steps:
- open winecfg
- go to libraries
- add msvcp140 and vcruntime140
- set both to 'native'
- apply

and then Elster worked for me. There was no need to install any additional libldap since it was already available with the package libldap-2.4-2:i386.

Hope I could help you a bit!

I have the same problem.
The Elster module cannot be loaded.
But experience shows that this will be fixed in future (Buhl.de)- updates.

I've never been able to play the videos.
an error message from Youtube always appears:
"Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es später noch einmal."

Do you know any workaround?

I use Wine 3.0 (32bit) over PlayOnLinux on Debian stretch (9.3) (amd64)

I have exactly the same issue and I opened a support ticket at Buhl. Let's have a look what happens.
By the way: I have that issue using the software with WINE and as well running the software in a virtual machine with a WIndows 7 installation.

Wine 3.0, Debian stretch, (amd64)

I updated to Wine 3.0 stable, still using ubuntu 16.04 - but the "Belegabruf" does not work.

- All credentials (Buhl account and Elster-Certificate) are filled in
- Nothing happens by click on Button "Belege abrufen".
- In Window "Manuellen Belegabruf einrichten" following Error Window is coming up after click on "Anmelden":
"Elster Schnittstelle nicht verfügbar - Die Elster Schnittstelle der Finanzverwaltung (ericapi.dll) konnte in dem Ordner C:\Program Files (x86)\WISO\Steuersoftware 2018 nicht geladen werden."
- "ericapi.dll" _is_ in the directory
- I tried to update WISO, but no update necessary

Anyone an idea?

Firstly, i had the same issue. But after a while (i think after downloading all updates from www.buhl.de/updates.html ) the error removed.

Windows 7?

Should we compare in winecfg the dlls?

Oliver,
thanks for reply. I waited for the next buhl update, but it didn't change anything. All testers use newer Ubuntu-Versions, so my intention is to wait for the LTS-Upgrade (April, 26th) - maybe this will be the solution. If not, I try other ways.

I like to install and use "WISO Sparbuch 2018" on my Ubuntu 16.04.2 virtual machine (VMware), so I installed wine 3.0-rc5 following the description on wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu. To avoid repeating sudo commands, I used these commands:
sudo -I ( + password )
dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
apt-key add Release.key
apt-add-repository dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
apt-get update
apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

Then I was able to successfully install and start "WISO Sparbuch 2018" but after booting the VM the next day I got an error "The system is running in low-graphics mode" which I wasn't able to fix.
I started from scratch (from another copy of my base Ubuntu 16.04.2 image) and just installed wine as described above. Same error after reboot...

Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Have you tried sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable or staging instead of devel?

I also tried the stable one but I then had issues installing "WISO Sparbuch". After having entered the login credentials for my buhl.de account I got an error reported from the installer ("Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Bitte versuchen Sie es später noch einmal."). Same happens if I go back, take the option "Nein, ich nutze noch kein buhl: Konto" and then enter the "Garantie-Nummer".
Today, I also tried rebooting the VM having the stable version installed. Same issue as reported for the devel version: "The system is running in low-graphics mode".

I also tested the staging version today, again on a new copy of my base Ubuntu 16.04.2 image. Same issue...

Fonts are readable but not smoothed / anti-aliased. Already set font-smoothing via winetricks but the toolkit used for the app might have special settings somewhere...

Does "winetricks settings fontsmooth=rgb" led to an improvement?

Nope, but switching to Wine 3.0-rc4 improved the situation slightly.

By the way, Elster ist broken with the 2018 version. I'll report that

Awesome, it's much better with Wine 3.0

And Elster works :)
