Dialog box problem with Wine


Hi

I have a problem with a setup program under Wine.

Hope one of you guys understands the problem and can help.

I would like to install a windows application into my ".wine/drive_c/program files" directory instead into my native "/mnt/c/Program Files".

However:
  • When I use my native Windows installation (C: linked to /mnt/c) the setup program works fine and I can enter all digits into the serial number field and proceed.
  • When I use the Wine drive_c (C: linked to /home/user/.wine/drive_c) the setup program does not let me enter the last digit in the serial number field causing the setup program to complain about an incorrect serial number.

Besides, when using my native Windows in Wine the dialog boxes and fonts are much better than when I link c: to /home/user/.wine/drive_c

Can anybody tell me how I can fix the problem with the dialog box so that I can enter my serial number properly and proceed with the installation? I guess it is just a setting somewhere or some dll that's missing.

Thanks

Problem fixed! Installed the latest Wine version and Fontforge which fixed both issues.

Font Issue

I would have suggested simply copying the entire fonts directory from a Windows machine over to your .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts folder and that would have probably solved the issue as well...
