Station Launcher Forum

Installs fine, but crashes if started.

Anyone any experience ?

I just tried installing the station launcher, pretty much the same thing happens. Installs, but crashes everytime I run it. This is what the log file records:

Running debian stable, 10.5 catalyst (HD5770) using ATI installer (since deb stable is far behind on drivers).

Hi,

Thanks for the log...it helps....

By the looks of that you'll need the microsoft visual c++ 2005 redistributable
installed into the same bottle and some version of .NET --- I'd try .NET 2.0
first - if that doesn't work try .NET 3.0 (but don't be surprised if it's looking
for .NET 3.5 which is unsupported in crossover/wine at present)....

These things are all available in the 'runtime support components' area of the
crossover installer -- if it were me, I'd install the following (in this order);

microsoft visual c++ 2005 redistributable
IE7
.NET 2.0
station launcher

If that didn't work, then I'd install .NET 3.0 into the same bottle as well. If
it still doesn't work, grab another debuglog and pick through it for more clues...

Note however, this may not run at all -- many 'current' win32 apps requiring .NET
usually have a requirement for .NET 3.5 (which the wine devs are still working on)

Cheers!

Thanks for the tips. I made a new bottle and installed in that order (I assume IE7 = crossover HTML engine, not 8.0), and Station Launcher now runs - at least to the extent I can log in and use its chat functions with my friends (can't test much else, since I'm not sub'd to any SOE games right now).

Only oddity is that a station window will disappear (even from my pager/system tray) if its top gets dragged below 1/2 or 1/3 of my screen. I'll have to experiment with that to see why...

Hi,

Actually, by 'IE7' I meant Internet Explorer 7 ...but then, I didn't read your thread
subject line close enough and only just now realize you're using crossover games 8) I included
IE7 in the list to cover the possible need for the activex bits requiring Flash 10 ActiveX Controls
(this is installed along with IE7), but if it's working without it then so be it.

In the next release of crossover-games (CXG) I believe IE7 will be part of the install targets.

If you find you really need ActiveX controls in the interim, download the crossover standard 9.0.1
demo installation and install the visual c++ 2005 and IE7 there, then archive that bottle and
restore the bottle archive into the CXG environment....

As for the oddity...that behavior makes me suspect Station Launcher may be crashing when you
do that -- try enabling 'emulate a virtual desktop' in winecfg (set 'desktop size' to 1024x768)
and see if that helps any...

Good luck!.....post back here if you find out what's going on or need further help...

Cheers!
