I have a situation where I am using wine on Linux and I want to prevent
wine from trying to start the interactive debugger.
I am using wine version: Wine 20040505
When an executable fails an assertion (assert(0) for example) wine
attempts to display a dialog box asking the user if they want to debug
the application:
Assertion failed: 0, file c:\documents and settings\fsola\my
documents\visual studio
projects\fake_executable_assertion\fake_executable_assertion\fake_execut
able_assertion.cpp, line 9

Wine just waits forever at this point.
My goal is to just have these jobs die when this happens, so I tried
what I thought was the correct solution:
I changed the following lines in my ~/.wine2004/system.reg:
FROM:
[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\AeDebug]
1094757697
"Auto"="0"
"Debugger"="winedbg %ld %ld"
TO:
[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\AeDebug]
1094757697
"Auto"="1"
"Debugger"="xxxxxxxx %ld %ld"
My understanding is that this should do two things:
1) Changing "Auto" to "1" should cause wine NOT to put up
the dialog box
asking if the user wants to debug the application.
2) Changing "Debugger" to "xxxxxxxx" should cause wine to
fail to find
and launch the debugger.
BUT, I see absolutely no change in the behavior.
I was able to verify that other changes to this systen.reg file are
being picked up by changing one of the font entries, and then running
with all debug channels enabled. But I never saw anything in the debug
output that indicated that wine was using the AeDebug entry at all.
To be safe I also changed the same entries in
~/.wine2004/drive_c/inf/wine.inf TO:
[Debugger]
HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug,"Debugger",,"xxxxxx %ld %ld"
HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug,"Auto",,"1"
SO, my questions are:
1) Is this the only way to disable the debugger (more importantly to
stop wine from asking the user if they want to debug the application)?
2) Am I doing something wrong? (am I changing the wrong file?)
3) Any ideas why this is not doing what I expect???
Any help would be greatly appreciated since I am out of ideas at this
point.
Thanks in advance,
