[Wine] Animation:Master 2004

[ghostcortex]

Hi all,

Has anyone got Animation:Master (preferably the 2004 version) working on Wine in Ubuntu?  I know the AppDB lists Animation:Master 2005 rating as 'Garbage' because it requires the CD to run, but that hasn't been a problem for me.

The program actually shows the splash screen and appears to load quite well, but when the main program window appears, there is no mouse cursor (it disappears when hovering over the window) and the program appears completely frozen (keys and clicks don't respond).

Running the application from the terminal, I get the following output:


Code:
[color=blue]monkeyjohn at monkeycon:~$ wine "C:\Program Files\Hash Inc\V10.5\Master.exe"

Originally, the program wouldn't run because wine lacks MFC42.dll, but I installed it using WineTricks.

I am running Hash Inc.'s Animation:Master (2004) v10.5r on Wine v1.2 on Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx) v10.04.  Any help (including insight into these error messages) would be appreciated.  ^_^ 

(I should also note that I am both a Wine and Linux novice, so please be kind to my technical ignorance.)  Thank you!

P.S. Wine rocks!
