anybody know how to get rid of this problem on Wine-20040309?

"sorry, could not get a license at this time, try running this program later.
23
0"

it's probably simple, I just don't know how to fix it.

A little actual brain activity has made it clear to me that this must be an elicense problem and all you who got 6.62 or whatever version running must have fixed it. How?

ok, so i was an idiot and didn't read the stuff at the top of the forum *slaps forehead*
I sent off an e-mail, see if their fix program works under wine :-)

Tejing... how did you get mdac/JET installed happily? For the life of me it complains with Thunk errors and other assorted fun when trying to get them on (and without which zmud won't work, of course).

EDIT: Aha! I found the secret to a clean mdac/jet install... I had to go swipe setupx.dll from www.dll-files.com and drop it into the fake_windows/Windows/System directory. zmud is closer to working now... though not there yet.

I just got zMUD to run on my lunar-linux machine yesterday. Here's what I did..
Using Wine 20040505, and fake_windows as Frankscorner's wine app configured it. I also used Frankscorner's app to install DCOM.

I downloaded a zipfile that contained the ie5setup.exe and all the files it needs to install (The installer by itself wouldn't get the files downloaded), then I just used the installer through wine to install it.

After that I downloaded MDAC and Jet4 from www.zuggsoft.com/data, and both installed.

Then I just downloaded the zmud installer and installed it!

How annoying... I never have gotten mdac to install right in wine :P

Has anyone had any success getting zmud to run from a windows install?

As in it is installed along with much mappage and so forth on my windows d drive. And i would like to be able to wine that instance instead of copying progress back and forth when i need to use windows vs linux or whatever.

I am using 7.05, and wining to the intro screen is no problem that way, but it insists jet isn't installed after that, which is odd considering it pretty much obviously is as it works under windows. So i'm thinking it's just a matter of letting wine know somehow where to find jet.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Just so you know - I have managed to install zMud 7.05 on Linux using crossover office (www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/). This is a commercial product - though it comes with a 30 day trial version that is unrestricted (So you can test that it works before shelling out your hard earned cash!). If you want to setup zMud on your Linux install this is the quickest and easiest way.

First thing you need to do is to install internet explorer 6 - Just install the browser - you dont need the full install along with outlook express etc. This is supported directly from crossover, and will install the dependencies for you (DCOM95). This worked first time for me.

Crossover will also automatically simulate a windows reboot between each new installation - so you dont have to worry about that.

Next up is mdac2.8 - Get this from www.zuggsoft.com/data. Once that has been installed you need Jet4.0, which is also available from this site.

Then you can go ahead and install zMud7.05. The only problem I am currently having with it is that certain parts of the zMud window (mainly in the settings and in the mapper) are not redrawing themselves correctly and I end up with quite a messed up screen at times - though I am sure I will be able to work out a fix for this. I will keep you all posted.

If you manage to get zMud installed, I think you will agree that the speed increase over running on windows (in terms of game play speed) on the same machine is quite staggering!

Ben.

I wanted to thank everyone for contributing to this thread. Now I have zMud 7.04 up and running on fedora core 2. I'm using the 6-15 wine rpms for fc2. Here were my steps:

1) Insall IE6SP1. I used option 1 from http://frankscorner.org/

2) followed Daagar's suggestion of downloading setupx.dll from
http://www.dll-files.com and unzipping into fakewindows/system dir.

3) installed MDAC 2.8 and JET 4.0 from http://www.zuggsoft.com/data

Then I just copied my zMud directory and it ran. There are some minor glitches,
but most everything works, although noticably slower.

Thanks a lot, everyone.

Just got zmud 7.05 running on my Mandrake 10 official box this morning, did it the same way as blongden, also having the same trouble with the refresh.

You ever get that fixed blongden?

Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2004 2:25 am

This sounds promising. I'll try it on my fresh Mandrake X install tonight.

I've got an idea on this that solves zugg's problems with porting to linux, and still gets a hassle-free way to install zmud in linux for those not so wine-savvy. somebody make a .deb and/or .rpm package that creates a fake windows drive and wine confg file specifically for zmud in /usr somewhere, and uses that as a skeleton to copy to any users ~/.zmud and make a script that overrides wine's config and fake drive locations and runs zmud. It shouldn't be terribly difficult to do if you've figured out exactly what zmud needs.

Wanderer Joined: 21 Dec 2001 Posts: 59 Location: USA

the only work zugg would need to do would be to get all user-related data separate from all system-related data, so that zmud could be centrally upgraded, but all the user's preferences and so on would be in their home directories. just like unix programs should be

nema32, you left out something important. where did your fake windows directory come from and what version of wine did you use?

what I meant was that there are multiple programs wihich will create a new fake windows directory, and I have noticed that I get different results depending on how I generate that fake windows directory. it could be made by runnig wine without one, it can be made by a program in the wine-utils package, it could be made by winesetuptk, and I'll be there are others as well. I tried following your directions, and I couldn't get winetools to work at all, and the other automated method of installing ie6 hung partway through for no apparent reason. I'm still working on it.

It would be nice if all the widgets drew correctly-- they don't. If anyone has some overrides that would fix the problem, please post your solutions. I'm talking about the toolbar buttons, the trigger/parsing icons at the bottom of the main window, and others. It appears to either be a failure of the widgets to release (or otherwise clean up) the DC after they draw themselves, or a failure to erase the background first. Windows is more forgiving than wine in this respect, so that's why they look ok in windows but not when running in wine.

Aside from noticible speed loss, the only other problem I have with zMud under wine is selecting a character. Double-clicking the icon does nothing, so I have to secondary-click him to bring up a menu and choose 'open' or equivalent.

Hi,

I have zmud 7.13b running under wine-20041019 on a gentoo system. Im using this version because winetools are working best for it. with winetools you can install ie6 jet mdac and everything needed for a good base wine setup automatically.

I haven't read the whole thread but I have read about problems with the elicense stuff. on my system everything works fine.

there are only the earlier mentioned graphic problems but i think thats the problem of the wine common controls.

i have found something really weird. I have three windows open. In the main mud window i have a the font lucida typewriter mono. for the other two windows i have selected the same font but they use something like arial. anyone an idea how to tell the windows to use the mono font? in the settings of the windows the correct font is selected but its not used!?

btw i love zmud even under linux :)

I haven't gotten the map function to work in zmud yet.
I recently bought a copy of zMUD 7.21. I installed in under wine 0.9.6.
I thought it could have with the wine version to do or something, so I just upgraded to wine 0.9.9.
The mapper still doesn't work though. :(

Anyone knows how to fix this?
When I click the map icon it gives me:

Access violation at address 0059EB9C in module 'Zmud.exe'
Read of address 0000008D

I found this thread and it worked for me, I am running zMud under wine in Ubuntu system. But the mapper isn't working,.. It says there's an access violation in module zmud.exe when i try to open it.

Anyone has any ideas? :)

Newbie Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 2

I also get the "A component named NewMapF already exists" error when I click the map twice.
I'm running slackware 10.2 and wine 0.9.10. It works better than the previous wine versions. Atleast when it comes to text formatting and graphical appearance. Only the mapper left now and I will give this program gold or platinum rating in the appdb at winehq. :)

Ok, I got it almost working great :)

I set up wine and winetools with the MDAC and Jet40SP8 and IE6SP1 under Ubuntu breezy, Got zMud working emulating Windows NT4, 2000 and XP, not with global settings, 98, 95 or 3.1.

Using global settings i get this errors and zmud won't run:
