Hello,
I have managed to start Finale 2002 under Wine with all icons displayed
correctly. WARNING: I have not yet used it extensively, so I'm not sure
if it is stable! (And I still have no MIDI input/output, but then I have
not really tried...)
To get it to work, I took the following files:
commdlg.*
comdlg32.*
commctl.*
comctl32.*
from a Windows 98 (first edition) machine where Finale 2002 was already
installed (and works fine).
I copied them into the \windows\system\ directory in wine's fake Windows
drive.
I put the following in wine's config:
in the [Version] section
"Windows" = "win98"
in the [DllOverrides] section:
"commdlg" = "native"
"comdlg32" = "native"
"commctl" = "native"
"comctl32" = "native"
And, this works.
I would send the Win98 files to anyone interested, except that I'm
afraid there may be licensing issues (as these are a part of win98). So
your safest bet is to get to a win98 box, install Finale (this is
important -- apparently it updates at least COMCTL32), and then move
these files onto the Linux box.
I'm *not* sure it will work with files from Windows NT/2000/XP.
AND: you need wine 20031212. I'm not sure about later versions (could
try, perhaps - but "if it ain't broke don't fix it", so unless
something
is not working correctly, I won't try anytime soon). But
200308-something simply does not work (font stuff breaks).
I will duplicate this on Frank's corner forums, and after some testing,
submit this to the Wine HQ and Frank's Corner for inclusion in FAQs.
Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
