Has anyone successfully run the Hydra tuning software in a linux computer. I have been trying to run it under a wine windows emulator but im still getting a runtime error.

 

Post a dump of the error message.

 

hi thanks for replying. here is a screen shot. i have to go back to the computer and copy the log, i cant remember how to do a data dump

 

Looks like the ecgraph activex control isn't registered properly. Is this during setup or are you actually trying to run the tuning program?

 

I see this ending well.

 

the program installed with no problems, that screenshot you see is from trying to run the program. i checked the log files and as i thought it would, it did not record anything because the program is being run in wine. wine program im using emulates windows xp.

 

Actually it provides an inter-op/compatibility layer between windows programs and the linux kernel and various libraries, it doesn't emulate anything.

In fact, its name(WINE) is a recursive acronym. Wine Is Not an Emulator .

Have you tried manually registering the activeX control? The .ocx file should be in Hydra's install directory (check this first). It could be somewhere else though. If you aren't sure, open up a terminal and from your home directory and type: "find | grep ecGraph.ocx". After that, open up a terminal and navigate to ~/.wine/c_drive/program files/{Hydra install dir}. Type: "wine Regsvr32 ecGraph.ocx".

Report back with any error messages.

 

thank you Jeff. i tried your suggestions and here are the results. when i tried to find the .ocx file i found it was not there. i did a search in terminal and nothing. i went ahead and downloaded the new tunning software 2.70r13 and ran the .exe file with wine. it brought up and ran the instal wizzard like the last time and installed the program. tried to run the program and i got the same error. tried the find|grep....in terminal and nothing. what am i doing wrong?

 

You're doing it wrong by trying to use linux without being a *nix dork.

try

find / -name ecGraph.ocx 2>/dev/null

syntax may need some work for above command

 

^ You are fail aids

cd ~
find | grep *.ocx

 

you're right about that, im slowly learning tho. while i was on vacation i did a little reading on line commands, its hard for me to understand that stuff. now that im back at work my internet time is limited and i cant sit and "study".

anyway, thank you for the help. are you running nemesis on a linux computer or are you using windows? i ran the above command and still no .ocx file.

 

i tried this one also, no .ocx file, i also thank you for your help. im thinking i will get a cheap windows laptop and try the linux way at a later time when i know more about linux.

 

Word.

Offer still stands. Provide me with an install package and I'll try to get it going.

 

It should be:

cd ~
find . | grep -i ecGraph.ocx

-Raj

 

Getting Closer. I'll post a how-to when I get this error resolved.

 

AWESOME! you are the man

 

bump

 

I THINK i got it fixed. i ended up using virtual box to run xp in linux and installed hydraems. the program comes up and the usb are working too. i wont be home till february so i dont have a way to actually test it. i was hoping to be able to use wine to run ems but i just dont know enough at the moment to get it to work that way.
