CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I have just downloaded Crossover as a trial. I wanted to see if I can run a simple Windows tool. This is just a small .exe file to be executed directly, no installers.

If I doubleclick the file in Finder Crossover starts and then nothing happens. If I try from the command line I get an error message:
The command "/Users/PG/Desktop/TPC.exe" returned 53.

StdOut:

StdErr:

I tried to create a log file. In the file I see this:
** Mon Nov 9 09:21:45 2009
Starting '/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/bin/wineloader' 'winewrapper.exe' '--workdir' '/Users/PG/Downloads' '--run' '--'
'/Users/PG/Downloads/TPC.exe'

err:module:import_dll Library MSVBVM60.DLL (which is needed by L"Y:\Downloads\TPC.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Y:\Downloads\TPC.exe" failed, status c0000135

I am completely new to Crossover so I have no idea if I am doing anything wrong.
Anyone can help?

Thanks.

The program is looking to load 'MSVBVM60.DLL' - you can try the following;
using a serch engine, search for/download a copy of MSVBVM60.DLL, and
then copy this file into the drive_c/windows/system32 directory of the
bottle you have the app installed into.

Hope this helps....

Cheers!

I think... oh, and I might be wrong.

That you will either need a certain version of .Net framework (does the application need .Net framework?)

or that

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2005 includes that particular dll (I believe the later, but some of the dll errors don't stay straightened out in my mind).

To see this package in CrossOver (so you can added it to your bottle):

Go to CrossOver, Preferences and select 'Installer Assistant'

Uncheck 'Hide service packs and dependencies'

Close the CrossOver Preferences window.

Go back in to install CrossOver and find 'Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2005' and add that to the bottle.

You'll also see that several versions of .Net are visible. If you find the one you need, you can add it as well.

Good luck!

I think Caron may be thinking of something else...but then...maybe I am wrong...

From what I can see, Msvbvm60.dll is part of the Microsoft Visual Studio 6 redistributable, and not
part of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (the difference between 'msvcvm60' and 'msvbvm60')
Winetricks has a target for this (vbrun6), but I don't think crossover has an equivalent dependency
target....(which is probably why I went for a DLL copy operation)..

Cheers!

Hi Don,

I did as you wrote and there is an improvement. The application starts, but with errors:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi Pawel,
Ouch...activex ....this will be a problematic adventure,
as I'm not real sure how much activeX stuff is working in crossover/wine.

A number of other (windows) apps have threads like this...

If I'm right, installing Internet Explorer 7 into the same bottle, will also pull-in
the Microsoft Windows Script components (and some other deps)...that'd be what I'd
try next....(use the built-in Internet Explorer 7 install target in crossover for this)

Cheers!

Hi Don.

it feels a little bit like using an Airbus A380 to drive to the next village...

Anyway I have installed the IE7.
Seem like activeX is there too:

But the result has not changed:

I am ready to use a B747 if needed,,,

Best,

Pawel

Don is correct here. My apologies. Some wires just get crossed, apologies!

Hi Pawel,

Hmm...a lot of activex stuffs need a 'real' running windows kernel to work ;
it basically depends on which functions of activex the actual program uses.
This is starting to look like one of those apps for which activex is not
yet working in crossover/wine.

Remember, the official support systems here are the ticket system (or email
info@codeweavers.com) -- I've probably taken you as far as I can here, and
now suspect this is an activex issue -- if you would like to have this looked
at by the devs or such, submit a ticket (or email) about the issue, and mention
this thread so they've an idea of what's been tried...

Cheers!

Don

Thank you, Don.

Your help is appreciated very much!
I will try with a ticket,

Best,
Pawel
