Description Dan Kegel 2005-10-02 00:05:54 UTC

The ChurchWindows 2005 demo starts installing fine, but
terminates with a dialog box saying
  "Church Windows requires Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2
   or later in order to run."
This happens even if Firefox 1.0.4 and the
corresponding ActiveX plugin are installed.

Seems like Firefox ought to be able to satisfy
the need somehow...

Comment 1 Ulrich Czekalla 2005-10-04 19:57:24 UTC

Try adding the following key to system.reg:

[Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="6.0.2900.2180"

This will fool ChurchWindows into thinking IE is installed and will get much
further along.

Comment 2 Dan Kegel 2005-10-19 16:59:34 UTC

OK.  The next failure is

err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by
"C:\\windows\\system32\\CSText32.ocx") not found
fixme:ole:_copy_arg TKIND_DISPATCH unhandled for target vt 0x4003.

(Now off to file bug 3620 ... the mfc42 installer I found fails...)

Comment 3 Dan Kegel 2005-10-20 05:05:46 UTC

OK, I nailed it!  Turns out that CW will install if:
* you have the registry key in comment #1
* you have mfc40.dll
* you have mfc42.dll
* you have the VB6 runtime

A script to automatically download and install CW and its prerequisites
is at http://kegel.com/wine/cw.sh.txt

Now on to file a bug against CW proper!

Hopefully Wine will come with that IE registry key preloaded soon,
and we can close this bug.

Comment 4 Dan Kegel 2005-10-20 13:28:47 UTC

I've created an enhancement request (bug 3627)
for winecfg to make it easier for users to set
the IE registry key.  And that's it for this bug.
I'm marking it 'later' to reflect the fact
that it's not really a bug at the moment that Wine doesn't
come with MFC and the VB runtime.
Thanks, all!

Changing the resolution to abandoned. If the problem persists please open
a separate bug report.

Comment 6 Dmitry Timoshkov 2008-06-09 06:47:16 UTC

Closing.
