To get my RootsMagic7 to work, I only also had to install the 'ie6' component for my RootsMagic7 program, again after highlighting RootsMagic7 (that's what I called it when I set it up), and then selecting 'Configure' in the right menu area, then clicking the 'Install components' tab and highlighting 'Internet Explorer 6' and finally clicking the 'Install' button at bottom right.Īddendum: Also installed (using PlayOnLinux) the 'Flashplayer' and 'msxml6' components to get the interface between familysearch and rootsmagic to work properly. PlayOnLinux does all the heavy lifting and figures out what to download and install from there. This is done easily within PlayOnLinux by highlighting the program and selecting the 'Configure' link in the right menu area, and then clicking the 'Install components' tab, highlighting 'gdiplus' from the list and finally clicking 'Install' at bottom right.

First I installed a Linux program called PlayOnLinux. Today I took another look at the problem. RootsMagic6 continued to work under Wine just as before (after reinstalling it for testing) and as I noted above, RootsMagic7 worked fine on my other Windows machines. which always put a frowny look on my face.
However, whenever I tried to open any rootsmagic file with RM7 or even to create a new empty one I immediately received an external program error 'exception C06D007F'. and then allowing the program to install).
I was able to download the current installation program by going to their website at and to install it by following their instructions (ie to download and install RootsMagic - or in the case of Ubuntu, since Wine was already installed, just a matter of right-clicking on the icon and selecting > Open With > Wine Windows Program Loader.
