OK... I 'll try ... ( I am a novice )
PlayonLinux 4.1.9 (Wine 1.3.30) on Ubuntu 12.04
dunno which desktop
1. have three bottles installed - one bible program works OK - other two are of other program (PhotoUpz from PhotoUpz.com) - were installed and did work OK after installation startup ...
eversince then, they would not startup, but crashed everytime
"Error in main
PhotoUpz crashed."
have log file
2. even tho I do have 7z installed ... whenever I start up the PlayonLinux, it claims that I do not have it installed ... uh?
what do you need to know about my computer configuration?

32 bit or 64 bit?
Also, that is a really old version of WINE to be running with the current version of Ubuntu. Do you mean that you are running that version in PlayOnLinux, or is that the system version? The system version, if Im thinking right, should be at least 1.4
If you are running regular ubuntu 12.04, then you are running Unity.
Please post the log file.
or,
Run playonlinux from the command line, recreate the issue, and post the command line results.
If you are running Ubuntu, then you need:
p7zip-full
and I usually install
p7zip-rar
The terminal commands would be:
[code]sudo apt-get install p7zip-full p7zip-rar[/code] Edited by RoninDusette

thanks for replying and help!
installed the p7zip-rar
yes, it is 32 bit
yes, "Unity" seems familiar
not sure of where that wine is from, but I got that number when going theu PlayonLinux
Ubuntu seems to have another, as it shows up occassionaly that does not seem to be related to PlayonLinux ... I can go and install other wine ... which one should I use, from within the PlayonLinux?
how do I post the log file? hope it is ok I am copying and pasting it here below ...

Ok. So, right off the bat, you need to install a prerequisite. It looks as though its wanting to use Visual C++ Runtime. When you install, POL will ask if you want to install any additional software. Check that box, and look for the package: vcrun2008 Try that one, and try to re-run the program. If that doesnt work, try vcrun2005 This is telling me that you need vcruntime ELF 20000000-2008d000 Deferred msvcrt \\-PE 20010000-2008d000 \\ msvcrt ELF 415ba000-415e9000 Deferred msvcr90 \\-PE 415c0000-415e9000 \\ msvcr90 ELF 502a6000-5038b000 Deferred msvcp90 \\-PE 502d0000-5038b000 \\ msvcp90 msvcrt = Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Hope this helps
PS: This is NOT a package from your package manager. It is to be install actually within and using PlayOnLinux. Edited by RoninDusette

I usually install these packages before installing any non-listed game: vcrun2005 netframework3.0 d3dx9 corefonts Usually if a game doesn't install, its because a service is missing that installs them. A lot of games use netframework and visual C

Yup yup. This is true. d3d, vcruntime, and .net are almost always needed.
But, you should not just install all of that right off the bat. I have run quite a few games that work terribly with this stuff installed.
Its always good to do a dry run, in a fresh wineprefix, and then see what you actually need, instead of doing it for good measure. Though, I have done the same thing, and have had success, its not good practice, as wine should be able to handle a lot of this stuff, and mono should be able to handle the rest (in a perfect world. lol).
If they manage to get this stuff working without installing scripted prerequisites you wouldnt know, as you already installed other stuff. Not to mention, that if your specific version of wine includes wine-mono installed with it, then installing .net can make things wonky.
As long as it works for you, dynamite. :) Any port in a storm, right? haha
But as a general rule of thumb for troubleshooting, when having issues (with any program, games included), you should try a fresh, basic, default install, and then, if you have issues and need to post about it, we can have you post the logs to the original fresh install, and troubleshoot from there, to make sure that you have ONLY what you need. You would be surprised what wine can handle on its own. lol. Edited by RoninDusette

Nope. Its all inside the PlayOnLinux program. If you want to install new wine versions, open POL, and click TOOLS, then Manage Wine Versions. There you can go through a list of 32 and 64 bit wine versions, and install them to your computer with a single click. :) As for the install programs on POL, its very simple. When you click INSTALL, then click INSTALL A NON-LISTED PROGRAM at the bottom of the install screen, it will take you through a few steps; one of which, it gives you some checkboxes. These checkboxes ask if you want to configure wine, install additional programs, and another one. If you choose INSTALL ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE, it will bring you to a list of software, which have the vcrun packages and whatnot in there. AFTER you have created a WINEPREFIX, you can click CONFIGURE, select the name of the WINEPREFIX, then click Install Components. There is the same list that you can install vcrun and everything else on. Click around and explore the POL app more. Alot of the stuff is clearly listed, and straightforward. Hope you feel better. I just got over being sick, as well. :/

You have to be clicking the wrong thing. Its as simple as that. Its one of the main features when installing software. You must be clicking "Configure Wine", and not the "Configure" button.
Open POL, click Configure (notice where my mouse pointer is: 
Next, click the wineprefix/virtual drive that you want to add components to: 
Now, click the "Install Components" tab:
There is the list of dependencies you can install. This is one way to get to the list. The other is to do it from the Install Menu, but this works just as well.
Hope this clarifies a bit. Edited by RoninDusette

yes it did clear things up and I did the list you gave me
NetFramework 3.0 did not show up, but 1.1 did
should I use it or I guess you have to guide me again with this one.

The 3.0 framework is called: dotnet30 They are all named like that. For instance, .NET 4.0: dotnet40 Although, I would try installing Mono 2.10 from that list first, and see if that works, before trying .NET. Just make sure you only use one or the other. Mono and real .Net dont play well together.

well I installed the mono 210, and it still has that error
I guess I will have to remove it and go for the dotnet30
how do I remove it?

If you do that, Im almost positive it will make matters worse. Create a new Virtual Drive, and start fresh, installing dotnet30 instead of mono.

Yeah. Try it on a fresh one. Run playonlinux from the command line, try it with dotnet30, and post the results.

"fresh one" meaning ?
"Run playonlinux from the command line" ... are you talking about in terminal? or ?
"try it with dotnet30" how???
I guess I am a real dumb novice!
I can see you working at light speed cuz u are real familiar with this ... I am not ... (sorry)

"Fresh one" = Fresh install. New virtual drive. New WINEPREFIX. Please re-read the documentation for POL if this is not clear, as its a major part of how PlayOnLinux runs. "Run playonlinux from the command line" = run the command playonlinux in a terminal. Usually in "Accessories" in your application menu. Its a command prompt, ie, text on a black screen. "try it with dotnet30" = We JUST went through this. I even posted screenshots on how to find the dotnet30 install script, as well as all of the rest of the scripts. Dont call yourself dumb. You are just new to this. But you need to take care to read the instructions for this software so that you have an understanding of how it works, and also re-read the instructions posted above. Im not working at light-speed. hahahaha. Just read a little more carefully. Its very straightforward. :)

I actually have more issues with the provided scripts in PlayOnLinux. Sometimes they works, sometimes they don't. I know some of them are beta. But, most of the time I do a "manual installation" and stick to my directx, vcrun & dotnet 3.0 and most game run GREAT. I'm actually doing a bunch of tutorials on how to install and configure PC Games.
By the way, does the forum have notifications? I had no idea you replied to my post... Edited by booman
