Unable to install vcrun2017, vcrun2019 doesn't work

Post by usrnm1 »

vcrun2017 spits out "vc_redist.x86.exe returned status 53", reinstalling doesn't help.
vcrun2019 installs fine, but programs that depend on vcrun2017 won't run.

Tried on wine-7.3 (input from wine --version), Manjaro Linux
Before posting, I tried to remove Wine (completely, delete the folders from $HOME and sudo pacman -R wine winetrick wine-mono wine-gecko) and reinstall it (only wine and winetricks, winetricks --self-update), rebooting. Installing everything else works fine, and previously installed vcrun2017 worked fine (had to remove the wineprefix because I had some useless stuff installed).

For clarification, how I installed wine was:
sudo pacman -S wine
sudo pacman -S winetricks
sudo winetricks --self-update
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/wine/WinDrivers winetricks
*do stuff*
*installs smoothly, no issues*
But after it gets to vcrun2017, it fails at all times.

Also, seems that .NET is faulty installed (some registry is not set and programs that rely on it won't work).

I have gone back to Wine 7.2 and installing it all worked flawlessly.

Can you install vcrun2017 without the "*do stuff*"?

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/vcrun-test winetricks -q vcrun2017

Yes, I did try that as well. I decided to downgrade and reinstall all the stuff, and then get back to 7.3. Worked like a charm. Wine 7.3 seems to be bugged, as even .NET didn't work properly (something with registry, I already forgot what it was about). I seem to have those issues every 2 to 3 Wine updates, not quite sure if it's somehow related.

Also, I goofed and should've reported this as a bug, not as a help request... I'm sorry for that.
