https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46235 Bug ID: 46235 Summary: Opening ADODB.Connection results in: Method '~' of object '~' failed Product: Wine Version: 3.18 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: bugs(a)seeitmyway.org Distribution: --- Created attachment 62931 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=62931 VB6 example program Hello I've been battling with this for four days now and found no solution, yet it worked a year ago. Opening an ADODB.Connection in wine fails with this message: Method '~' of object '~' failed Yet it works fine in Windows (XP). In essence, the program does only this: Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Set cn = New ADODB.Connection cnStr = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.3 UNICODE Driver};" _ & "SERVER=localhost;" _ & "DATABASE=db;" _ & "UID=user;" _ & "PWD=password;" _ & "PORT=3306;" _ & "POOLING=false;" _ & "OPTION=3;" cn.ConnectionString = cnStr Call cn.Open ' <--- fail Quick steps to reproduce: 1. Download: - https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/file/mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.6-wi… - Attached sample VB6 program I compiled. 2. Run: WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-ado" ./winetricks vb6run mdac28 WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-ado" wine msiexec /i mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.6-win32.msi WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-mca" wine adotest_early_53.exe It will show a messagebox with the ODBC connection string and the error description. I tried downloading the full binary I used in wine a year ago and it too fails. This attached program is just the bare-bones needed to show the problem, to remove all unknowns. I tried wine-2.9, wine-3.0 and wine-3.18 staging, all failed. Tried with POOLING=true, POOLING=false, and without the POOLING key at all. I tried all the internet advice I could find to no avail. Strangely enough, when I set the ODBC connection driver to something bogus, like "carrots", it fails with the exact same reason. As if it doesn't see the MySQL ODBC connector at all.
