You should be using wine, not wineX.

in your ~/.wine/config file:

Instead of:
Code:
[AppDefaults\\kazaa.exe\\DllOverrides]
 "commctrl" = "native"
 "comctl32" = "native"
 "shdoclc" = "native"
 "shdocvw" = "native"
 "shlwapi" = "native"


try:
Code:
[AppDefaults\\kazaalit.exe\\DllOverrides]
 "commctrl" = "native"
 "comctl32" = "native"
 "shdoclc" = "native"
 "shdocvw" = "native"
 "shlwapi" = "native"


and again, make sure you are using wine, not wineX.

One other thing. Use kazaa-lite 1.7 or so. I've been having problems getting 2.0 running.

OK, this is what I did.

1. Install wine (emerge wine.)
2. Download kazaa-lite 1.7.2, 2.0, whichever you want.
3. Grab the required windows DLLs off your windows 98 CD, or do a search on google.
You will need:
commctrl.dll
comctl32.dll
comdlg32.dll
msvcrt.dll
shdoclc.dll
shdocvw.dll
shlwapi.dll
urlmon.dll
wininet.d
4. Place the above files in ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/System
5. Place the following in your ~/.wine/config file:
Code:
[AppDefaults\\kazaa.exe\\DllOverrides]
 "commctrl" = "native"
 "comctl32" = "native"
 "comdlg32" = "native"
 "msvcrt" = "native"
 "shdoclc" = "native"
 "shdocvw" = "native"
 "shlwapi" = "native"
 "urlmon" = "native"
 "wininet" = "nativ

6. Install kazaa-lite via the command
Code:
wine /path/to/kazaa-lite-installer.exe

7. Run Kazaa.exe with wine, or let it create an icon on your dekstop.

It sounds like you already have it running. The first time I ran it, mine would not connect either (v2.0,) but after I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, it connected just fine.

The new problem is the fact that I can't click on the "traffic" button, otherwise kazaa-lite crashes. But I can do searches, and download stuff. Just don't know when it will complete. I'll let you know if I solve the problem. Also, if anyone else ran into this problem and has a solution, please let me know.

Note: I am currently using kazaa-lite 1.7.2 as both versions 2.0 and 1.7.2 have the same problem with the traffic screen for me.

Why is it doing this? Because it is trying to open Kazaa's home page using internete explorer in the main window. Just press "stop" like you would on your browser right away and you do not have this problem"

Well I finally solved my "failed to create empty document" error and I wanted to post how I did it. I read somewhere that this error indicated you had a "non-standard" .wine/config file. So I saved a backup of my config file and then deleted the original. Then just run "wine" with no aurguments to get a new config generated which will, by definition, be the default wine config. Then tweak/define your drives and then (at least for the wine ebuild version 20021031 found in the current portage tree) you'll notice that you already have the following in the VERY VERY bottom of your config file
Code:
;; Kazaa Lite
[AppDefaults\\Kazaa.exe\\DllOverrides]
"shdocvw" = "native"
"shlwapi" = "native"
"urlmon"  = "native"

which indicates the only native dll's you need to fetch are the three listed here. Then you can download them from here. I used only and all my dll's from Win98SE. Then you do need to place your dll's in your wine C:\Windows\system (whatever you defined C:\ to be in your .wine/config) [[On my system it so happens that Windows is capitalized only in the first letter and system has no capitalization, don't know if that will have any affect or not but thought I'd mention it]] -- Also in your .wine/config you must define win98 as the windows you want to emulate to be able to install KaZaa 2.0. Then I installed Kazaa Lite by running the executable. After that I ran the Kazaa.exe file using wine (wine Kazaa.exe) and that worked fine. There were a few errors about not being able to load a page, I just clicked on OK about three times and then it worked!! So that's how I finally got mine to go for me. In case you are wondering I am not running windows on this machine at all, just Gentoo.

I should also mention that when I installed Kazaa Lite 2.0 I chose the minimal install to try and reduce the possible problems. If for some reason you HAVE TO HAVE one of the added apps (I personally liked speed-up quite a bit in windows but don't see it working well in Wine at all) feel free to try it--but be warned that I have not tested it.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
BonezTheGoon

Thanks BonezTheGoon, I'd tried so many different methods to get Kazaa Lite working, and yours is the first one to work properly!

Cheers! :)

I'm trying to get Kazaa Lite 2 (kl202e.exe) to work with wine-20021125. I followed the suggestions at Frank's corner, but they didn't work. Then I followed the suggesions here. Now I can actually run Kazaa Lite without getting exception errors:!: The problem is, kazaa won't connect. It just keeps saying "Connectiong..." at the bottom.
Any suggestions?

*EDIT* For the searches: I reinstalled Kazaa and it works like a charm.

And for the font freaks out here: You can supply fontpath's to make it all look better. Here's the part from my configfile:
Code:
[FontDirs]
"dir1" = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/windows"
"dir2" = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"
"dir3" = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont"
"dir4" = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont"

The only problem I have, is that the buttons on the top are messed up. Does anybody know how to fix this?

In order to fix the messed up buttons I used a specific dll from a Windows XP installation. I think it was comctl32.

I've been banging my head against the monitor for hours trying to get this damned thing to work, but I keep getting the same error:

Code:

XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0.0"
after 177 requests (177 known processed) with 0 events remaining


What the hell does this mean? Please tell me. I'll give you a cookie! :)

Not exactly sure about kazaa 2.0 but I found this site is the quickest way to get kazaalite up and running on just about any box that will run wine, http://www.brad-x.com/unix/kazaa-FreeBSD.phtml comes complete with an already modified .wine directory and a preinstalled copy of Kazaalite.

Now that has to be the finest way to make KaZaA work. Nothing else worked before that for me... I got the invalid page access error after a few seconds, but couldn't click on the stop button as suggested above because it was in the disabled state! Very irritating.

Anyway, for this... woohoo!!! Thankyou for posting the link.
