Hi Fred, for the first question:
no, MFC is not win32 api. Win32 api is still plain C and MFC is c++ You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Foundation_Classes For the second question: 1. I think it's more important, that your application ships MFC with it. If not, it's normally a hint that a) the developer doesn't use a version (legal, illegal) of MSVC++ and is not allowed ot distribute it. The Developer of your app should know where to find MFC on the website of MS. 2. That's one problem I had seen for many many years. People are always lazy and don't want to learn. The attitude: Hey, here .exe now I just click on it and it runs, brought us the problem of trojans, worms and viruses. TBH, people who don't know what they are doing, shouldn't use a computer, and should drive a car. 3. Ask your application provider. He knows very well about where to install this. A good hint can be to go here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en I don't know if this is your needed stuff, but mfc is normally in the redistributables. Anyways...it's not a wine issue, it's a developers issue to use propietary stuff. -- WinMerge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
