Hello, friends..
Recently I posted a message regarding the failure of MS Reader to start
under Wine/Ubuntu 8.04
After some Google-fu, I noticed that a required C library was missing,
msvcirt.dll. I downloaded it and installed in Wine's windows/system
directory. This did not fix the issue. What I failed to realize was that
IEs4Linux, which I used to install IE 6, which was necessary to install
MS Reader, creates a separate windows/system directory of it's own, and
that MS Reader was looking for the missing file there. I copied the
offending file to the IEs4Linux windows/system directory, and voila! it
worked!!!!
Thanks to those here on the list that pointed me in the right direction,
and a raspberry to the one person who suggested off-list that I was
wasting my time. ;-)
