Testing with 4.1.0

App: Tas Books 3 Controller (v.4.0)
CO Ver: 4.1.0 (Current Release)

I have tried running this through Crossover and unfortunately it does not work.
I managed to get it installed and load the initial company selection screen. It also created a demo company without any problems.

When I try and open the company I get a window with a pretty purple background and that's it. ☹️

In order to install it sucessfully I first had to separately install Internet Explorer 6.0. After the installation I had to register the 'TASv4Res.dll' using 'regsvr32.exe'.

I'm quite new to wine and CO in general, so I'm not sure what I need to do to debug. I did run it from the command line with the '--cx-log' option. Here's the log file:

HTH

I've run TAS Books2 under Xover6 Beta2

  • installed fine into an win98 bottle

  • had to install IE6 manually

  • it ran the demo-company stuff ok

  • able to get various reports & graphs out

  • it repeatably crashed on a sales-analysis screen - corrupting the database! So perhaps it's not ready for 'primetime'!

-IE6 seemed to work fine though!
