Is there some way to disable the Wine Gecko install prompt? So if I create a new wineprefix it will NOT prompt me about it... or anytime my prefix is updated it will stop prompting me about it... its extremely annoying. If it takes a source patch, so be it, but there has to be some way to maybe trick it? If i cannot get rid of it on creating a prefix, at least trick it into thinking its installed so it'll stop prompting when a prefix is updated?
Yes, you should just paste the .cab file in the right place: http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko Then it will find it every time you create a new prefix, so it won't prompt you about it.
thanks for... that... I think its obvious I want to get rid of the message without actually installing Gecko...
Run this doh123 WINEPREFIX=~/testwine wine notepad Even that wine notepad.exe.so is a elf-pe you can build this as PE ie windows executable. Yes you will notice the testwine prefix is created without asking once for gecko. And gecko is not installed in that perfix at all. Your claim that every single time a prefix gets created is bull for pure wine does not do it. Might be a feature of wineskin that is a third party program outside our control. If they have done stupidity is not our problem. Yes there is a way to disable it. Disable mshtml. Most likely cause applications to fail to run. Lots of applications are built on the presume mshtml exists. Even so mshtml even in places avoids installing gecko. Please be aware this is the wine forum we answer questions as if system being used is pure wine. We don't do any support for third party alterations other wise we would be going up wall.
