the windows program no longer works with the last updade of wine

Post by MVR270 »

Given that my os is mint 20.1 I have been using a very old program for windows for a long time, but since I updated to the latest version of WINE the program no longer works the program opening window opens and closes instantly , subsequent reinstallation with playonlinux even crashes.
Even trying to uninstall WINE and revert to version 5.0 does not solve the problem.
There is someone who can give me directions.

Does the program work in a clean 32-bit wineprefix?

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/wine32-test WINEARCH=win32 wine installer.exe
cd "${HOME}/wine32-test/drive_c/Path to program"
WINEPREFIX=~/wine32-test wine program.exe
A terminal output may help to solve the problem.

Forgive my ignorance but I don't know what to answer your question, in any case the result of your first instructions is this:
0009:err:module:__wine_process_init L"C:\\windows\\system32\\installer.exe" not found

Sometimes it can happen that the "fake Windows" (the wineprefix) installation becomes corrupt. A new (temporary) wineprefix can eliminate this.
Since this is an old program, I recommend making a 32-bit prefix,. because some old programs can get confused in a 64-bit environment.

The installer.exe was just an example. Replace it with the real name of the installation program (if there is one) or with the name of the program.

It looks like you can't run this program "on its own".
You will have to install the program in the new wineprefix first.
(I expect the installer to install the missing dll files in the system32 directory.)

Yes, however, there is a problem, this error concerns the program already installed and that no longer works, if I try to reinstall it exnovo with play on linux the installation crashes immediately so what you suggest is not feasible, I think I will have to reinstall everything and avoid updates to the new version
