I work for a church and play with Linux in my spare time.

I decided to just play around and see if I could get the church
software we use working in openSUSE 10.2

The application I tested was Parish Data Systems (PDS)' Church Office
(http://www.parishdata.com/churchoffice). To my surprise it installed
fine in WINE .9.40. Its a very coplex frontend to a Delphi database.

The company makes only Windows programs, very buggy ones at that, and
takes a great deal of time to come up with new versions.

I'm very impressed. It installed and put a shortcut on my desktop.

But no matter what I do I cannot get this program to run.

This program requires a path that in Windows is like this: "C:
\PDSChurch\PDSChurch.exe" P="C:\PDSChurch or wherever installed"
D="path to data as windows drive letter or unc path" N=1

I mounted the path to the data directory on our server to my /mnt
directory and then created a link to it as a drive H: in the WINE
config. Apps can see the path and navigate to it as drive H.

I had a great deal of trouble getting the program to run at all. The
shortcut it had placed on my desktop didn't work - I get an error
message that says "Service to '/home/thomas/Desktop/Church
Office.desktop' is malformed" from KDE. I also tried it from the
terminal.

WINE doesn't seem to like the complex path with the "" or maybe the
required drive letter/UNC path. I finally ran it from WINE's cmd.exe
(command prompt) as: C:\PDSChurch\PDSChurch.exe P="C:\PDSChurch" D="H:
\PDSChurch" N=1

The splash screen loads but it never finishes loading, as if it can't
reach the server although other Windows apps in WINE can.

Even skipping the mounted drive letter and trying directly with the
UNC path such as: C:\PDSChurch\PDSChurch.exe P="C:\PDSChurch" D="\
\192.168.0.12\PDSChurch" N=1 doesn't work.

There's a demo on the PDS Web site if you'd like to try it yourself
with their sample data.

How do I get WINE to run this program correctly?

Please start wine from a console window and then try to rerun your app.
Then look at the output on the console if it gives you any glue what might
be going wrong or post it here so we could look into it.

An issue might be with permissions. Are you sure all files the app need to
read/write/execute have the needed permissions?

Running
wine "C:\PDSChurch\PDSChurch.exe" P="C:\PDSChurch\" D="h:\pdschuch"
N=1
from the console did nothing.
I even tried wrapping it in quotes and graves but that also did
nothing.

Running wine "~/.wine/drive_c/PDSChurch/PDSChurch.exe" P="C:\PDSChurch
\" D="h:\pdschuch" N=1
loaded the program's splash screen, but it gave an error that it could
not find the path "h:pdschurch" and this written to the console:

ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0
fixme:wave:ALSA_AddCaptureDevice Add support for DSCapture
fixme:htmlhelp:HtmlHelpW HH case HH_CLOSE_ALL not handled.
fixme:htmlhelp:HtmlHelpW HH case HH_CLOSE_ALL not handled.

The program didn't like it because the console trimmed the / in "h:\",
although the "C:\" worked fine, but I don't know what's the escape
character that the program will accept.

I once again started cmd.exe and tried "C:\PDSChurch\PDSChurch.exe"
P="C:\PDSChurch\" D="h:\pdschurch" N=1
which gave the program's splash screen, then the program froze and
wrote the following to the console

ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0
fixme:wave:ALSA_AddCaptureDevice Add support for DSCapture

You might want to check out online church office services. They are
web-based and generally require a broadband connection. They have
monthly fees but offer access anywhere on the Internet and centralized
back-up.

You may have a z-order problem, i.e. a dialog may be hidden
behind that splash. Try running the app with
WINEDEBUG=+text wine usual-commandline-to-run-your-app
in a console window, that may let you see the messages
that would normally show up in the dialog. Also try
just pressing Enter when the app seems to hang, that
may dismiss the hidden dialog. So give that a shot
with the real app.

But I just tried the demo, and I didn't see that kind of problem
in my run. The first problem I ran into was that the "Web News"
window wouldn't go away when I clicked on 'Close'! That
seems to be http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9039
Fortunately, clicking the 'X' in the upper right of the Web News
window did make it go away. There were other problems,
but the demo did seem to basically function.
This was with wine-0.9.41. Can you try the demo and see
if you get the same results as I did?

That's not an option at this point, we have a several year support
contract with them, and the programs' users refuse to learn new
software unless they have to. Of course if PDS offered a Web-based
system at a lower price than what we're paying now, I'd bring that up
with the administration anyway.

Pressing Enter did not help.

Running
WINEDEBUG=+text wine "/home/thomas/.wine/drive_c/pdschurch/
PDSChurch.exe" P="C:\PDSChurch\" D="h:\pdschurch" N=1

gave this output on the console

I just tried the demo. I cab get into the program but it gives an
error when trying to access Familes, but the data is still accessible
after getting past the message. Its rather odd: "Invalid floating
point operation" and a list of tables it was trying to read.

Basically I did get the same errors you did in the demo which does
work as you described.

That's strange as it seems to accept it in the other option. Although \ is
normally taken as the escape character. So you may try these options:
P="C:\\PDSChurch\\" D="h:\\pdschuch" N=1 or even


P="C:\\PDSChurch\\" D="h:\\pdschuch\\" N=1

Also it shouldn't matter but maybe ... you could try those with h in
uppercase instead.
