Cannot install windowscodecs

Post by StaCa »

Hi,
I've been trying to install windowscodecs for a few days, but I always have the same error message:

Code: Select all

Executing w_do_call windowscodecs
Executing load_windowscodecs
Using native override for following DLLs: windowscodecs windowscodecsext
Executing winetricks_early_wine regedit /S C:\windows\Temp\_windowscodecs\override-dll.reg
------------------------------------------------------
Working around wine bug 32859 -- Working around possibly broken libX11
------------------------------------------------------
Executing taskset -c 0 wine wic_x86_enu.exe /passive
003d:fixme:clusapi:GetNodeClusterState ((null),0x33ec54) stub!
003d:fixme:advapi:DecryptFileA ("c:\\a7de17b82527ea71791b7c8235b3fffa\\", 00000000): stub
0045:fixme:setupapi:pSetupGetGlobalFlags stub
------------------------------------------------------
Note: command 'taskset -c 0 wine wic_x86_enu.exe /passive' returned status 67.  Aborting.
I'm installing it with a clean 32 bit wineprefix, or with the dotnet35sp1 installed.
Using Linux Mint 18, WineHQ 4.0 and the latest winetricks...
Where should I look for...?

thanks

Found a workaround: https://askubuntu.com/questions/228049/ ... ine-1-5-19

So extracted and copied manually the windowscodecs.dll and windowscodecsext.dll from /home/user/.cache/winetricks/windowscodecs to /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

Wasn't more complicated than that, but I needed a while...

In your link wine version 1.5.19 is mentioned, that is way too old. That guy should upgrade to latest wine or at least stable (3.0.5).

Please report issues with winetricks at https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues.
