I am using wine 2.0-rc3 on Arch x86_64 and trying to install and run ImgBurn 2.5.8.0. The application has a platinum rating and a confirmed test for my distro here. But after a successful installation using "wine SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe" and following through the prompts, I attempt to run the program using "wine ImgBurn.exe" in the "/home/Abbott/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/ImgBurn/" directory and get this output:
ImgBurn hangs on the loading splash screen until I ^C, as visible in the output. Did I install incorrectly, or is there a different way I should be running the program?
Imgburn 2.5.8.0 is working fine here with vanilla wine 2.0-rc4.
You will definitely need a 32-bit Wineprefix and the Wine Windows compatibility set to Windows XP.
The newer Windows API's, introduced with Windows Vista, appear to break Wine compatibility for Imgburn. This also affects earlier versions of Imgburn.
The visible symptom is that the program hangs at the splash screen.
If that stiill doesn't work for you - I'd suggest filing a WineHQ bug.

Windows XP mode was my problem. Thank you very much!
