6.0 winecfg -v option not working

[willb]

I've been setting MS Windows version using regedit from command line. Now I want to try wine 6.0 winecfg command-line,

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=+winecfg winecfg -v winxp

but all I get is

Code: Select all

0024:trace:winecfg:WinMain restarting L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe"
010c:trace:winecfg:set_winver_from_string desired winver: 'winxp'

I checked the source code programs/winecfg/appdefaults.c in function set_winver_from_string() and it looks like it should have said "match with winxp', but I don't see that trace message, and I don't see the version set from winecfg GUI.

What am I doing wrong?

I use wine-staging 6.0 from Fedora 33, and LANG is en_US.utf8. I tried LANG=C and that didn't work either. I don't know how else to debug this.

Use winxp64 In a 64-bit prefix.

Code: Select all

winecfg -v winxp64

After some more research it appears that winecfg doesn't fully work on a 64-bit prefix. (Debian Sid, Wine 6.0)
In a 32-bit prefix the /v, /v version and /? options work as expected.
In a 64-bit prefix I can set a version with /v version, but the /v and /? options don't give any output.

Can someone confirm?

Weird. If I pipe the output to a file or a program the output is shown.
