I work as a system administrator for the primary schools in my
community and we use linux on most computers. We keep a few windows
computers for old educational software. I have tried to
run one such program trough wine (Wine 0.9.3 installed on Ubuntu with
apt and the http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/ repository). The
program is most likely unknown for most readers as it is only sold in
Norway as far as I know (DrillPro).
Currently I only get a dialog box with the following message when I run
the program ("wine dpw.exe"):
"Can't load Custom Control DLL: 'Z:\var\tmp\DPW\VBTOOLS.VBX'"
When I click "OK" I get another dialog box:
"Unexpected error; quitting"
I have set WINEDEBUG=debugmesg+module
And get the following message when Wine exits:
"Could not load 'SOUND.DLL' required by 'VbTools', error=2"
with WINEDEBUG=warn+all i get:
"warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"SOUND.DLL" not found in
/root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/dpw
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"SOUND.DLL" not found in
/root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"SOUND.DLL" not found in
/root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows

warn:file:OpenFile16 (SOUND.DLL): return = HFILE_ERROR error= 2
Could not load 'SOUND.DLL' required by 'VbTools', error=2
warn:gdi:GDI_GetObjPtr Invalid handle 0x334"
(have snipped more messages about fonts etc...)
Any suggestions? It appears that SOUND.DLL is required, I have tried to
find in on a WindowsXP computer with the same educational software
installed, but I can't find it anywhere.

Maybe you will have more luck looking for it on a win95 box.
