[Installation] Bullseye and Vara on Raspberry pi 4
I have installed the program Vara for running Winlink on the raspberry pi 4 but when I try to open the vara program I get the following error.
Failed to load control 'ImageList' from MSCOMCTL.OCX. Your version of mscomctl.ocx may be out dated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with you application. The only reference I can find elsewhere is for windows errors. I just need to find out how to update or repair this file on the debian bullseye OS. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Installation] Bullseye and Vara on Raspberry pi 4
Hello,
MSCOMCTL.OCX is a microsoft component and Debian does not provide this file, as far I know.
Therefore, you may be trying to install a windows program in (probably) raspbian or Debian (Linux) for a RPi4, that is usually not possible. Unless, a windows/x86 emulator (like wine) is used, that's not easy for a RPi4.
Can you give more info, references, installation instructions about the program ?

Re: [Installation] Bullseye and Vara on Raspberry pi 4
Wine is used as part of the installation. The installation is part of a project on github that I got off of youtube videos by km4ack, a ham radio operator. We using winlink and vara to send emails over the amateur radio in emergencies. I have also posted with that group. Did not know if this is a debian problem or one with Wine and vara . Thanks for the reply. If your interested the github.com/km4ack link is where a lot of his work is at.

You might want to reach out to KM9G. Steve uses Linux a good bit and Pi also. He has a YT channel.TheRanger53 wrote: ↑2023-03-19 21:18 Wine is used as part of the installation.

Re: [Installation] Bullseye and Vara on Raspberry pi 4
I betcha winetricks is able to install the missing components into Wine, as long as you know what to tell it to install.
But does Microsoft release Windows programs for the Pi architecture? Somehow I have doubts...is there even Wine for the Pi?

Re: [Installation] Bullseye and Vara on Raspberry pi 4
I am not seeing the file that I need to update in the wine directory on my pi and not sure where to find it. Will keep looking. There is definitely architecture for the pi because I have seen too many people using these programs on the RPI 4 successfully. I am just not that smart when it comes to troubleshooting these problems. Where would I find winetricks and do you know if there is a tutorial on how to use it? Thanks again for taking the time to help.

Hello,
If I am right, in Debian repositories wine32 is available for armel/armhf architecture and wine64 is available for arm64 architecture.

Re: [Installation] Bullseye and Vara on Raspberry pi 4
Just an update on the above post; I could find no answer to fix that problem in my post and have since installed Mint on an older HP pavilion that I replaced the hd in. I am now trying to install vara and winlink onto it and have come across another stumbling block. Not sure if I should post another question or continue here so I will put the error in here and see if I get a response or get in trouble. This has to using CMake to compile part of direwolf. I am not very knowledgeable so please bare with me.
