Hi.

I am trying to run a relatively simple application to play Scrabble on a Macbook Air with M1 chip. I know not much about it, except that it was developed with Visual Basic. It installs in any Windows bottle, but when I try to run it, an error windows appears. It says:

Run-time error '3633':

Error message looks incomplete, like if it doesn't fit in the tiny window containing it. According to some Google results, it's probable that something like "Can't Load DLL somethig.DLL" is missing.

I haven't found similar problems in the forum. I have tried installing different versions and combinations of Visual Basic Runtime, Visual c++, Core Fonts, but nothing changes.

Has anybody any idea which set of complements I should install for a Visual Basic application or what does the error message could mean?

Thanks for your help.

That sort of failure should show up in a debugging log: https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/mactutorial/submittechsupportlog

That should at least tell you which dll's are failing to load.

Some Googling turned up the info below. Based on that info it looks like you need to install "MDAC 2.8" from Crossover's "Install Windows Software" button into the active bottle. The links below seem to be broken, but if necessary you can go to Microsoft's website and search for "download MDAC" if you need to get it straight from MS.

Run-Time Error 3633
I finally figured this one out! If you are getting this error then the support files needed for DAO360 are not on you computer. To correct then you can install MDAC 2.1 (SP2) or greater from Microsoft's web site. I have not used or tested MDAC 2.5 yet but will soon.
http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm
Note: Windows 95 users you may need to download and install DCOM95 first.

Then I remembered that I had to run MDAC_typ.exe version 2.5 before I could install SP4.0 for VB6.0 (MDAC = Microsoft Data Access Components). I installed the MDAC_type.exe on that new PC. After the installation + rebooting the application ran without run-time error messages.

If you want to download MDAC_typ v2.5 or get a summary of the files that it fixes: http://www.microsoft.com/data/MDAC25...tmmanifest.htm

I created the debugging log, but from after taking a look it's not clear to me which the problem is.

Sadly, installing MDAC 2.8 didn't help.

Well it stinks that MDAC 2.8 didn't fix the problem. Visual Basic errors, even though cryptic, are usually pretty helpful in narrowing down the problem. I dug a little further into that error message and found some other suggestions.

We got it to work, also see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45212

1) Use a fresh 32bit WINEPREFIX
2) winetricks -q jet40
3) Get a 32bit dao360.dll from win7 or so (mine is version 03.60.9756.0), and put it into drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/DAO/ - overwriting the already existing dll

It seems that this post is recommending that you 1) use a 32-bit WINE bottle, 2) Install Jet 4.0, and 3) snag a 32-bit dll from Windows 7 (dao360.dll) and put it in your bottle at "C:\Windows\System32." Jet 4.0 is related to Microsoft Access, There are a few different versions available, and I'm not sure exactly which one would work best.

My best guess would be Windows Server 2008 (not x64).
