           Summary: Can not run e-Sword.exe
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: josvis at mtnloaded.co.za


running e-Sword gives the following error: "The program e-Sword.exe has
encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience. This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency
in Wine. You may want to check ...winehq.org (which I did) for tips about
running this application. If this problem is not present under Windows and has
not been reported yet, you can report it ..."

My machine : Windows XP / Linux Ubuntu 11.04 dual boot, both updated regularly,
desktop, stand-alone, sole user. I have installed Wine through method described
in ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1524397 (sudo apt-get install wine) which
automatically fetched Wine ver 1.2.2.  In the meantime I had downloaded
e-Sword's setup983.exe, setup991.exe and niv.exe. I then installed setup983.exe
on wine after which I could run e-Sword successfully, but after I installed
niv.exe on e-Sword (which you must do) e-Sword failed and gave the above error.
(niv.exe is the NIV Bible which runs on e-Sword). This pattern followed on each
consecutive installation. I then uninstalled e-Sword from Wine and deleted all
remaining e-Sword files. 

I then installed setup991.exe  with the same procedure and the same result.

Then I tried to install e-Sword with method described on
ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=404042 and with both versions of e-Sword but
again with the same result.

Then I did a clean uninstall of Wine 1.2 and installed Wine 1.3 from Synaptic.
Installation of e-Sword with the same procedure described above gave the same
result.

ON WINDOWS XP I HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.
