err:shell:SHCoCreateInstance class not found in registry

Post by creation »

My wine version is 1.1.25 and unde my .wine directory i have installed directx9, vcrun2005sp1 and internet explorer 6(needed by metin2 in order to load properly).

For some days i have notice something. If i type winecfg, wine dxdiag , wine control, wine regedit or if i install a game using the command wine game-name.exe i keep getting a lot of lines on my console :

Code: Select all

fixme:shell:DllGetClassObject failed for CLSID={a07034fd-6caa-4954-ac3f-97a27216f98a} (Query file associations)
err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised
err:shell:SHCoCreateInstance failed (0x800401f0) to create CLSID:{a07034fd-6caa-4954-ac3f-97a27216f98a} (Query file associations) IID:{c46ca590-3c3f-11d2-bee6-0000f805ca57} (unknown)
err:shell:SHCoCreateInstance class not found in registry
And trust me when i say a lot of lines they are plenty.
What is the cause for that ? And of course if there is a way to fix this?
