CreateScalableFontResourceW Error

Hi!
I'm trying to run some setup application, but it shows an error message like the following: "Unable to start DDE communication with Program Manager." and wine returns the following:

Code:
fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceW (0,L"C:\\windows\\system32\\PHON.FOT",L"PHON.TTF",L"C:\\windows\\system32"): stub


Can anyone help me with fixing this error?..

fixme's are not so bad in most cases and that one has nothing in common with DDE communication.
You might want to open a bug and attach all commandline outputs

Another one strange issue: when I add TRACE debug channel, setup.exe application doesn't start. After some time Windows-like error messages with empty messages description appears. Without TRACE channel all works as usual

That version of Wine is over a year old. Upgrade to the latest development release.

I've update wine to 1.1.32, but it doesn't help: setup application starts and freezes without showing any windows or anything else... Installation process stops. Should I open another bug?..

Ok, but I wonder how can developers fix my errors without sample application which doesn't work under wine...

Terminal output (sometimes involving the more advanced debug traces) usually is enough for the devs to locate the problem.
