help fixing prefix? winebrowser keeps crashing

[scarf]

there is something wrong with my wine installation that is causing winebrowser.exe to crash whenever i try to open a URL within a Windows program. i've had this problem for years over many wine versions. i filed a bug years ago and we determined it's not a regression or anything to do with wine. if i rename ~/.wine to ~/.wine-old for example and reinstall the program, new ~/.wine gets created and i am able to open links within the Windows program and winebrowser works as expected and passes the URL to my default browser in linux. i need to figure out what is causing this and how to repair it in my current prefix

[dimesio]

You can try comparing everything in the working and non-working prefixes, but that's a lot of work and you may never be able to find the problem. Why don't you just use the working prefix?

[scarf]

well i have a lot of programs installed and with windows programs its not like i can just copy them over from the bad prefix to the new prefix... everything has to be reinstalled, so time has to do with it. that's how this problem started back when i got a new computer i just copied over /home and everything was there and working again with all of my preferences (one of the reasons i prefer linux), even all my wine programs except for this issue with winebrowser haha.

everything else in wine has been working great so it's a localized issue, it would be good to figure out as i'm sure there's others out there who've had similar issues when upgrading linux or migrating /home directories, for example.

for example here are the details for the error when i try to open a URL within mIRC:

You are using native urlmon. Don't. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30047

[scarf]

great, thanks.
so i just opened up winecfg and removed urlmon from the libraries tab. it's fixed!

[dimesio]

For future reference, in general you should not file bugs when you have used native dlls, and you should have mentioned any and all overrides in your initial post.
