hmmm… i looked at the logs and this what wine said:
preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate (0x1002c), partial stub! fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate ((nil)), partial stub! fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate (0x1002c), partial stub! fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate ((nil)), partial stub! fixme:win:UpdateLayeredWindow (0x1006c,(nil),(nil),0x7f21f0f8,0x59bc,0x7f21f0f0,0x00000000,0x7f21f0ec,2): stub! fixme:commdlg:GetFileName95 Flags 0x00800000 not yet implemented fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_InitNew (0x7f05c0d8) fixme:shdocvw:OleControl_OnAmbientPropertyChange Unknown dispID -1 fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_Stop (0x7f05c0d8) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_Stop (0x7f05c0d8) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_Stop (0x7f05c0d8) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_Stop (0x7f05c0d8) fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_Stop (0x7f05c0d8) fixme:shdocvw:OleObject_Close (0x7f05c0d8)->(1)

because of the lines “fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_Stop (0x7f05c0d8)” i tried to use fakeie6 in your script but i still didn’t get any preview from tslite. using topstyle pro trial isn’t really an option because it will expire sometime in the near future.

i will keep trying but in the meantime, i’ll have to shelve this for the moment.

1. The wine error messages only show up if you run wine inside a terminal,
see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de3282d447376d2220d20a278ae52258551a4

2. I used topstyle 3.5 pro trial.

thanks a heap for the tip. unfortunately, it didn’t work for me. i followed your instructions but there wasn’t any preview still.

i do, however, have a couple of questions:
1. where do i look for wine error messages. i can’t seem to find it
2. i didn’t see “preview / use mozilla” in top style. there was only the “preview” option. did you use topstyle pro or topstyle lite?

btw, your website has an abundance of knowledge. awesome dude!

Thanks for the bug report about preview not working off the bat. Bug filed,
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14715

I was able to use the Mozilla ActiveX control for preview,
sort of. Here’s how:

First, I tried installing the Mozilla ActiveX control you pointed to,
but it had trouble, complaining it couldn’t find the mozilla/bin directory.
The trick is to notice the complaint from Wine:
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP60.dll (which is needed by L”C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla ActiveX Control v1.7.12\\mozctl.dll”) not found
After I installed msvcp60.dll by doing
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks vcrun6
that problem went away.

TopStyle then did an internal preview with Mozilla, but only when
I did “Preview / Use Mozilla”. It wasn’t a live preview; I had
to use that menu item every time.

Does that help?
