Bug #: 31117
           Summary: CMDceter.exe Runtime Error '429': ActiveX component
                    can't create object
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.7
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ole32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

The CMDcenter application uses a native SDET.dll
This was registered using:
    wine regsrv32 SDET.dll
However, the following error occurs
   Runtime Error '429':
   ActiveX component can't create object
   <ok>
when OK is selected, the application continues to run but all related and
essential functionality is skipped!

NB: My system is 64-bit ubunutu precise. I am running a 32-bit chroot version
of which I built to resolve bugs and verify fixes.

What app is this?  Does it have a home page?  Is there a downloadable trial?

Dan,

This is a 3D structural engineering application that incorporates structural
design, 3D OpenGL graphics and hyper-linked 2D CAD fabrication drawings. It was
developed as a Windows-based application and has been under development for a
number of years. The home page is www.sdet.com

I do not have a downloadable trial at this time but I could provide a Windows
Setup if necessary. However, the application requires understanding of
structural engineering to run test cases.

Please contact me directly if you would like to discuss in detail.

Regards
Tony

You have to install ADO components that wine doesn't provide, probably
available through winetricks - should be named 'mdac' or something like that.

I'm doubtful this is the solution!  A major part of the product worked fine
with the 1.5.7 distro which I installed as part of my normal ubuntu precise
system.  This part no longer works when I run with the self-built chroot
version!

I think the problem must relate to registering the SDET.dll for the chroot
version. With this in mind, do you think I should wait for the 1.5.8 pre-built
distro before we continue with this problem?

Hi Nikolay,
I went ahead and installed mdac27 using winetricks as you suggested and it
worked!  I was doubtful but you were correct.

I successfully ran through a full design touching every part of the
application.
The only part that doesn't work is the OpenGL window which doesn't appear. Note
that this part works fine when I use the distro of wine. I suspect I need to do
something for an X display because wine is in chroot.

Anyway, this bug can be closed :)
Many thanks
Tony

It could depend on a way you installed application then and now. Wine never had
ADO implementation, so this is likely registration/installer issue if any.

Congrats.

This could be caused by messed up GL drivers setup regarding 32 bit application
on 64 bit system.
