hi,

i've had some troubles installing/desintalling vcrun2008 (used wine-team package on ubuntu maverick, then your latest 1629 release):

• each time i've tried to install it , a maintenace dialog box open and both repair/uninstall fail because it cant find comctl, so i've installed comctl

• then removing it works

• installing again works but MS dialog box says: download and install the latest Service Packs & security updates for this package (ie vcrun2008)

• Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)

Hmm. Uninstall isn't really tested.

I would recommend installing vcrun2008 and your app in a clean wineprefix.

Thanks,

when i run Metatrader and want to add EA or indicator or open Metaeditor from the icon, it immediatly crash and this error is logged:

ptrace of non-child pid 4994 was attempted by: wineserver (pid 4974)

can it be related to vcrun2008 previously installed (or comtrl) ?

That's something completely different.
