Hello! I bought the Scottish four pack today, got my e-mails, and downloaded and installed the license manager. When I try to log in in the license manager, I get the message “Unable to log in: Error parsing response (error code -1)”. I’m running under WINE. Thanks!

I assume you've tried more than once. Thanks for the note about WINE - this might be a factor. Basically it means that the server has sent something the license manager doesn't understand. I'll do some research and will probably get back to you by email. Apologies for the issues.

Hi, just some more data to add from my end. I tried changing my password to one that contains no special characters (only alpha/digit), and the problem still happens. I also tried intentionally using the wrong password, and it gives exactly the same message (NOT a message that the password was wrong).

The answer is that Wine needs to be built with libxml support. This probably should go in the wiki!

Not being that level of tecchie, I'm not sure exactly what it modifies but does this already do what is required? “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |

" said:The answer is that Wine needs to be built with libxml support. This probably should go in the wiki!I guess, from other comments and past history, libxml support is probably a standard package. However, I've added it to the Wiki as suggested. Glad you got it working and thanks for reporting the solution. SimSig Boss Last edited: 19/01/2013 at 17:35 by GeoffM Log in to reply |

Works fine on Arch, version... just now. It'll be libxml2 that you need.

More interesting question, is there a distribution that doesn't compile libxml2 in? Or is this self-compiled?

I suspect most binary Linux distros like Ubuntu would have built WINE against libxml and everything would be OK. This is only relevant to people who build WINE themselves from upstream or who use a source-based distro. Notably, this has nothing to do with registry settings; it’s about how WINE itself was compiled.
