I was able to sucessfully install IE8 and Flash into the latest version of Wine, so I installed PP 2010 to give it a try.  It installs fine, as does the SR, and I don't get the blank hole where the Library is supposed to be; unfortuantely I get the error message attached. 

Running the following command whilst PP is running gives me the library in a IE8 window...

wine iexplore.exe file:///C:/Program%20Files/applications/Smith%20Micro/Poser%20Pro%202010/Runtime/ui/Flex/LSMGUI/bin-release/LSMGUI.html#

Content Paradise loads in the Content tab, so I think there is a problem either with it parsing the local file name (maybe a case issue) or it needs a DLL-by default Wine uses its own dlls even if a native Windows one is present, unless overridden...

 

EDIT- I forgot to mention that I also installed P8 (no SR yet) and it has the same issue...

Oops; my editing time expired...

I should add that  http://127.0.0.1:11530/apps/lms/api.py?op=appConfig in IE8 gives me a page of XML, as I believe it is supposed to...

What does clicking on the "More Information" link in the error message give ?

Quote - What does clicking on the "More Information" link in the error message give ?

It's not really a link; it just drops down some text... This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.

How about with http://localhost instead of 127.0.0.1? Still get the XML? I think it actually uses the logical name, not the address.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

Yes, http://localhost:11530/apps/lms/api.py?op=appConfig  does give me the XML, both in IE in Wine and in Linux Chromium...

I right clicked on the frame, and under properties it says that Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage, and the URL is

res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff_webOC.htm#file:///C:/Program%20Files/applications/Smith%20Micro/Poser%20Pro%202010/Runtime/ui/Flex/LSMGUI/bin-release/rt=11530?myport=11530

I get the same error page in when I open the address in IE, so it must not be properly handing this protocol...

DNS error? (dnserrordiagoff_webOC.htm)

It tried to look up a host. It didn't recognize it as a local file name.

file:/// looks odd - isn't that supposed to be file://

And the end of the path is missing unless you just transcribed it incorrectly. LSMGUI/bin-release/rt should be LSMGUI/bin-release/LSMGUI.html

I believe the leading  '/' in the path is because Wine is only an API layer, so the program is actually running as a Linux app...

I thought the same about the path being truncated, but I copied and pasted it from the properties page.  It does have port 11530 in it, so I figured it was somehow calling the script in that directory.  I did try replacing the last bit with the filename in IE, but got only a blank white screen...
