"ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver" on every .exe launch

Post by ToastyBug »

I get the following error in the macOS terminal every time I launch any .exe, 32 or 64-bit:

Code: Select all

00b0:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\\Registry\\Machine\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\winebth": c00000e5
The actual apps launch fine even with the error

steps: I launch Wine Stable.app, and then type

Code: Select all

wine path/to/app.exe
tested with Wine Stable 10.0 from https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases/
macOS 11
