Thanks Armin, that sounds like what I need. I'll try after work and let you know. -GEF

Or maybe I can squeeze it into my lunch break:

All it had was

4.0.423=-1

I added the lines from your post, and now it starts up just fine. Thanks.

Has anyone found an answer for the print blank problem?

Also along the same lines - customizing of sheets causes a no options avaiable & porting them just plain fails.

We might try copying your .wine folder and seeing if the problem is in my installation.
I have been having this same problem. GCA works (including QuickView), but printing just results in a blank PDF (using CUPS-PDF) and the print preview is blank as well. (And nothing but xml exports).

Has anyone figured out a solution for this?

If it helps, these are the errors that come up in the GCA Logging window when I try to use the print preview:
Code:
Print: Loading charactersheet.gcs.
Print: Device is PDF
Print: PaperSize is 1
Print: Using sheet options from: charactersheet.gcs

Print: No options found.
modPrintReport:PrintReport: Action: Setting script control: Error 438: Object doesn't support this property or method
Also, there is no GCA.INI file in my GURPS Character Assistant 4 directory... Maybe that has something to do with it?

I also get the following errors in my console window:
Code:
err:module:import_dll Loading library oleaut32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\windowscodecs.dll") failed (error c000007b).

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Wine 2.0.2 and I've install GCA b4.0.423. GCA will not work for me. When I try to open it, I get an error box saying, "ModForms:BuildSmartBar: Error 30001: Unable to open the picture file '%1'".

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a printer driver installed? GCA actually needs one to work. Just install CUPS from the repository.

After fighting with wine and gca, I finally figured out a solution to the printing problem, blank pages, johnny_be and others (including me) are having.
All that's needed is installing the following dlls:

wsh57 vcrun6 vb6run riched20

additionally one has to set oleaut32 to native.

my guess is a bugged wscript that cannot read the charactersheet.gcs file (which is some script as well). Maybe someone could file a bug at winehq about this.

Now it runs pretty much flawless :-)

If you're on Ubuntu and having trouble getting winetricks to download the necessary dlls, I was able to find a way to fix it. First remove the old winetricks, then get the latest and greatest

Code:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
sudo mv -v winetricks /usr/local/bin
Now you should be able to follow all the instructions in the first post. This will also fix the "ModForms:BuildSmartBar: Error 30001: Unable to open the picture file '%1'" issue a previous poster had. At least, it did for me.
