Community Forums - Unsupported Builds

I am attempting to run GCA in the OS X version of CrossOver (the demo version for now). I realize it is unsupported, however the version I am attempting to run is currently considered a gold version with Wine, and it seems to go great, until it actually finishes the start up. Then I get an error that says:

'modForms: BuildSmartBar: Error 30001: unable to open the picture file "%1"'

Based on my (rather limited) knowledge, that looks like a command prompt of an expected input variable, and I found a post on the WineHQ forums that suggests "cd-ing to the directory first" http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=5244&sid=fb98deab1f944ca1b78782d3ba9a1a6d

I am not sure how I would do that - I believe that this means that the running directory needs to be the directory the software is installed in - is this the case? Is there a way to make the system do this? This is one of the main programs I am interested in using with this software, and this would be a deal breaker for me. I would hate to shell out my money to not have it work.

Sorry for the longish post, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

Two things - have you copied the 2 dll's mentioned in the WineHQ posting
regarding this title? (riched20.dll and oleaut32.dll)?

Regarding running things/cd-ing into directories, you may find the following
of some use...see;

http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/unsupported/misc#racl

Obviously, linux paths are shown on that page - Mac equivalent to these paths
would be something like ;

/Library/Application Support/Crossover Games/Bottles/bottle_name/drive_c/Program Files/program-install-dir/

You would cd into that directory, and run /path/to/crossover/bin/wine gca4.exe

Hope this helps!....

Cheers!

Yes, I copied the two DLLs - same problem. I will look at the support doc you linked - I did not see it when I went searching originally. Thank you.

So I copied the dll's a second time (just to triple check), and then changed the config to Windows(native) for the two dll's when related to the executable, simulated a reboot and it worked! Thank you for your help - now just to check the other two programs I am interested in :)

Ahh yes, I should've mentioned that -- DLL overrides will be necessary for these two
DLL files, as wine_native versions of same are provided by the crossover/wine environment.

Btw, this is the wrong forum for this ('unsupported build' refers to the crossover builds, not
windows applications that are 'unsupported' ;) If you need to post any other questions, please
use one of the general forums ;

Good to hear you had a win - good luck with the other titles!

Cheers!
