Hi,
I'm looking for some advice where to start problem tracking. I'm working
on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit Desktop. Independent of whether I use the default wine
(1.2.2), the newest one on ppa/ubuntu-wine (1.3.12) or compiling wine by myself,
I'm always facing the following message at the first start:
Code:
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/user/.wine'
err:rundll32:wWinMain Unable to load L"setupapi"
wine: configuration in '/home/user/.wine' has been updated.
As a result the system32 directory is empty and/or the system.reg seems to be
incomplete and follow-up error messages appear. For example, when calling
winecfg without an existing .wine directory, the message above shows up, plus
Code:
err:module:attach_process_dlls "winspool.drv" failed to initialize,
aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000005
I found a similar problem in the bug-tracker, bug 25765, but there the statement
was, that the poster was using a broken wine build with special flags. I have
the problem with the repository versions.
As I have also read that people are using wine on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, I guess,
there is something in my system setup causing this. On the other hand, the
system runs fine without any problems whatsoever. At first I was thinking of
some library version mismatch (although I wouldn't know why I should have
non-default versions on my system), therefore I tried to compile wine myself
using the sources of the ubuntu package and the dpkg build process. That
didn't change anything. At the moment, I have no idea where to continue.
Thanks and best regards,
Volker
