[Wine] Re: The perils of GMAX

[A Nonny Moose]

I downloaded the help and tutorial files from turbo squid and unpacked them.

Both the folders in C:\gmax were empty, so I put the unpacked folders in as they unpacked.  No result.

I then moved the contents of the folders up on level (i.e. from gmax/Help/help to gmax/Help).  Now the application crashes when you try to access the Help menu with an "application error".  It does show the frame for the help system.

Here is what was on the console output file:

Mostly fixme's but there are some err notes in there.  I am afraid they are beyond what I know.
