Windows Updates Issue

[winrick88]

I understand wine does not support windows updates/hotfixes... correct?

I am trying to install a C++ application that uses npcap (https://npcap.com/)

After opening the npcap-1.8.2.exe installer, there's a message that is requires KB4474419 to enable SHA-2 signature verification.

I downloaded the KB4474419 hotfix which is a .msu wine and I tried to run it wine `wine wusa.exe xxxxx.msu` but it gives the error

Code: Select all

~$ wine wusa.exe windows6.1-kb4474419-v3-x64_b5614c6cea5cb4e198717789633dca16308ef79c.msu 
02a8:err:wusa:install_updates Failed to install update L"Package_for_KB4474419"
02a8:err:wusa:install_msu Dry run failed, aborting installation

So I guess these kind of hotfixes are just not supported, right?

In this case it's likely a lot of applications (for example, what I am trying here) will never work on wine

Not a solution, but a related question: any specific reason why you don't want to just use tcpdump / wireshark instead?

Thanks for your reply. The answer I've obtained is that windows updates are not compatible with wine, unfortunately.

A different solution to the problem would be required.
