[K12OSN] Wine and Server 2003 Problem

[Peter Scheie]

Yes, put it in the wiki.  No such thing as too much documentation--well, 
perhaps MS's OOXML spec, but that's a different matter.

It's not as complicated as I thought it would be, but getting there required a defintite learning curve, and determination. Without it working I would have to kiss my LTSP lab goodbye.

Then I ran the executables with wine in terminal to see what was going wrong. It pointed to some dll's missing so I copied them into the .wine system32 folder and it worked. We are using v3 of reading counts/sri, not enterprise edition. Sorry if I made it sound like I had installed it on the ltsp server. I'm still at a loss on this though. I just realized Root has no problem opening and closing either app as many times as it wants. I cannot figure out the difference between what a normal user is running and what root is running.

> The programs I'm using in wine have a database sitting on a Server 2003. When I open say reading counts, it works right away and asks for a user name. Same would happen if say I opened up SRI first. But if I close one and go to open the other, or the same one again, I get an error with the database, saying either it cannot be opened (SRI), or another user has the database opened in exclusive mode (Reading Counts!). I can fix this by logging onto the server and closing the session of the user in question. The odd thing is that even though it gets the right user on the server, it's insterting an entirely different computer name. Is this a samba or wine problem with not releasing the session? Or is it a windows issue that I'm dealing with? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been working hard to get this to go. I wonder if having the database on my server would work. And if I could set it up to have it sync.
