Can't install any dll/component via wine (errors)

Post by usrnm »

I'm getting this errors:

Code: Select all

024c:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 7BC62360 "../wine/dlls/ntdll/loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 024c, blocked by 0240, retrying (60 sec)
and

Code: Select all

0250:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 7BC62360 "../wine/dlls/ntdll/loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0250, blocked by 0240, retrying (60 sec)
when trying to install anything. Talking merely about Wine here, I wanted to refresh my Wine to contain less things because I no longer needed all other things I had installed (and one of dlls actually blocked one program), but now I can't install nearly anything, and I'm trying to install stuff I had installed before, which worked fine.

My Wine is also freshly reinstalled, because I thought I broke something with it, but nothing helped.

I also haven't installed anything I don't know since a few weeks, mostly I was installing games via Steam. Is this typically a server error? Really impossible that I messed something up, because I literally either installed stuff via Steam or updated my system. I have never had this happen before and I'm deeply confused about what is going on.

Using Wine-stable, installed like this:

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -S wine-stable
sudo pacman -S winetricks
sudo winetricks --self-update
sudo pacman -S wine-mono

Did you also delete or rename your (hidden) ~/.wine folder?

I tried again, with what you've provided, and it did work. Thanks! Never had that happen before, not gonna lie.

My steps: I simply uninstalled Wine, Winetricks and Mono (via console), removed the windows stuff installation folder with everything it has and the .wine folder and it let me install stuff.

I just realized I installed Wine, not Wine-stable, so that might've also been what solved that... If anyone has the same issue and Jkfloris' solution doesn't work, try installing "wine" instead of "wine-stable" and install stuff again.
