Struggling to get Gecko working - error reading registry key

Post by Falken322 »

For the life of me, I cannot get Gecko working. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, and running winecfg for the first time results in this:

Code: Select all

joshua@WOPR:~$ winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/joshua/.wine'

Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/joshua/.wine' has been updated.
</pre>
.
Following WineHQ's directions for installing manually result in the following:

Code: Select all

joshua@WOPR:~$ wine msiexec /i wine_gecko-2.47-x86_64.msi 
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
I have also placed the msi file in /usr/share/wine/gecko, and have tried installing winbind using the ubuntu package manager which comes with wine-gecko. All to no avail. I believe the issue has something to do with the error message repeated from msiexec, but google has yielded nothing useful for that error message so far.

Those messages are harmless and have nothing to do with wine-gecko (mscoree is part of wine-mono). From what you've posted, 64 bit wine-gecko was installed successfully. What makes you think it wasn't?

FYI, you also have to install 32 bit wine-gecko.
