rosetta stone won't install via WINE

[ddumanis]

Binary package hint: wine

I get a Java-related error and crash when I try to install Rosetta Stone for Windows via WINE.

Instances of successful Rosetta Stone/WINE installs are common on the Web. Not sure if this is a WINE issue, a Feisty issue, or both.

Problem is described in more detail here (by someone else who reproduced it exactly):

Sadly, WINEDEBUG=+relay causes the installer to abort early,
so I didn't learn anything with that.

Looking at +file, I see the last file opened before the crash was
C:\\windows\\temp\\i1174067555\\windows\\resource\\jre\\bin\\awt.dll
That JRE seems to be Sun's J2RE Version 1.3.1.

You can use a different JRE, but you have to tell the installer to do it.
I haven't tried this yet, but there is some doc on how to do it here:
http://www.zerog.com/iamanual/usermanual_ia45/user_guides/contents.htm

[Dan Kegel (dank)]

There is a free demo, but you have to send away for the CD-ROM.
The installer aborts with a java error,
also described here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/wine/msg24150.html
The installer has an embedded copy of Java, namely
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_11-b02)
The error message helpfully prints out the exact command
used to invoke java, and this actually reproduces
the error if you run it by hand, which makes for a much
shorter log.

This may be a dup of bug 7767, but at least Rosetta Stone
has a free demo, which can't be said of the app in 7767.

[Vijay Kiran Kamuju (infyquest)]

could you please post the error log?
And it seems to be a problem with wine.
I hope there should be a antery for this one in wine projects bugzilla

[Dan Kegel (dank)]

Bug filed, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8571
winehq is the place to work on this.

[Dan Kegel (dank)]

The appdb entry shows how to run the installer with your own JVM,
which gets you to the next problem...

Bug 8571 may be a dup of this one.

reproduce the error with a naked jre.

Dan:

You are correct in the duplicate, but bug 8571 has a link to a very good description of why this error occurs and what to do to fix it. Leaving this for you to mark as a duplicate.

BTW, Java 1.3 is VERY old and I think it is not maintained by Sun anymore. However, if we need to support this, development effort should be expended but not in favor of other higher priority problems/bugs.

Still not working today. Often seems to hang.
Sometimes aborts with a font-y sort of stack dump
which 'winetricks corefonts' might help. But tracking
this down is frustrating as it usually seems to hang
(right after loading awt?)

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

Does this still fail in 1.0? It seems like later versions of Rosetta install according to AppDB.

This is the output from the terminal window

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy Heron and have been updating Wine regularly. The Rosetta Stone version is 2.1.5.3A. Alas, I still cannot run Rosetta Stone and was hoping that if I contributed my error messages as well it would provide a more knowledgeable person with the information they needed to solve the problem. Attached is the terminal window output after running "wine autorun.exe" off of the installation CD. Until I figure out how to put two attachments on a single comment, I will post another comment with the log file mentioned in the terminal output.

Many thanks,
- Jon

Is this still an issue in current (1.2-rc2 or newer) Wine?

Could you please confirm whether this is still an issue in a recent Ubuntu release and with a recent version of wine (preferably 1.2) from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa ?
Thanks

Yes, although the symptoms are different. I tried installing Rosetta Stone v2.1.5.3Asms under Wine 1.2.2. Log attached.

This ticket has not been updated for over 850 days.

Is this still an issue in wine version 1.6-rc4 or higher or is this to be closed as abandoned ?

Sorry, but I fail to see any technical explanation in bug 8571 why this error occurs.
Where is this link you are talking about?

Anyway, resolving this bug as dupe of 8571 is plain wrong.

This bug is older and targets a list of affected apps/installers (all 'Zero-G' technology installers = LAX based).
Bug 8571 doesn't add anything useful. It talks about a single application.
Reversing the dupe.

If found another LAX-based installer showing the same symptoms: Parashara's Light Professional 7.0.1

$ wine --version
wine-1.7.14-142-gbd69346

[Focht (focht)]

Hello folks,

this is dupe of bug 7767 which targets all Zero-G (LAX) based installers, not the other way around...

Is still a bug in current wine(3.20)?

[Jeremielapuree (jeremielapuree)]

Does the bug still occur with wine-5.15?
Unable to find a download to test by myself.

[Focht (focht)]

Hello folks,

revisiting, still present.

After having a deeper look I found the problem ... took almost 14 years :|

It's basically a reincarnation of bug 7881 ("JRE 1.3.1: RuntimeException in sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getDefaultPixIDImpl(Native Method)") which was not properly fixed / validated.

The problem is not easy to spot with the installers because the root cause was not visible and the late error was just a manifestation of a general problem much earlier.

After first failure one can run the inner installer and pass additional arguments (class loader/jni -> more verbosity):

Created attachment 68725
Compiled Java test case to demonstrate ChoosePixelFormat PFD_SUPPORT_GDI issue

Hello folks,

I've precompiled the small Java test app and attach it here for reference.

Copy/pasta source and instructions from my previous comment #13

--- snip ---
// compile: wine "c:\\jdk1.3.0_03\\bin\\javac.exe" -g GraphicsTest.java
// run: wine "c:\\jdk1.3.0_03\\bin\\java.exe" GraphicsTest

import java.awt.*;

public class GraphicsTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.
                getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        GraphicsDevice[] gs = ge.getScreenDevices();
        for (int j = 0; j < gs.length; j++) {

            System.err.println("Getting config for " + gs[j].getIDstring());
            long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis() ;
            GraphicsConfiguration[] gc = gs[j].getConfigurations();
            System.err.println("Finished in " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) + " milliseconds");
        }
    }
}
--- snip ---

It should print:

--- snip ---
Unable to create a suitable default GraphicsConfiguration. Try changing your Display Settings.
        at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getDefaultPixID(Native Method)
        at sun.awt.Win32GraphicsDevice.getConfigurations(Win32GraphicsDevice.java:73)
        at GraphicsTest.main(GraphicsTest.java:17)
--- snip ---

After fixing the problem:

--- snip ---
