.EXE refuses to launch after upgrade to Wine 1.3.29

[Ricochet@sg]

Hello,

I was using SkyPipeII.exe on Wine 1.3.24 successfully. I have upgraded to Wine 1.3.29, as part of Fedora 16 (64b) upgrade.
Now the program does not launch anymore. I tries re-install and clean ~/.wine for fresh install. No success.

I have:
wine start SkyPipeII.exe
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x682938e0 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0027, blocked by 0026, retrying (60 sec)
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000194 flags 0 addr 0x6820a1a2
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x682938e0 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0027, blocked by 0026, retrying (60 sec)
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000194 flags 0 addr 0x6820a1a2

etc...

Any idea?
Thank you

Try with 1.3.34 (latest wine to date).

Good idea. I have upgraded to 1.3.33 but the error persists (again a fresh install....):

[eric@Prajna ~]$ cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Radio-SkyPipe\ II/
[eric@Prajna Radio-SkyPipe II]$ wine --version
wine-1.3.33
[eric@Prajna Radio-SkyPipe II]$ wine start SkyPipeII.exe
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
[eric@Prajna Radio-SkyPipe II]$ err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bcbe8e0 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0024, blocked by 0023, retrying (60 sec)
[eric@Prajna Radio-SkyPipe II]$ err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000194 flags 0 addr 0x7bc362ac
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bcbe8e0 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0024, blocked by 0023, retrying (60 sec)
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000194 flags 0 addr 0x7bc362ac

NOTE: this is a VB program. Is there any tricks to ensure that a VB program runs propely? Some DLL or what?

Not sure about that, unless you used a trick to install it in the
first place, but it's impossible to check now since you've deleted
your .wine (is it still in Trash?)
I've found no info for this specific app on http://appdb.winehq.org

The best solution would be to perform a regression test as explained
on http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting (between wine-1.3.24 and
wine-1.3.29) and report a bug

Alternatively, you can reinstall 1.3.24, or compile it and use a
custom wineprefix for this specific application (see FAQ for
explanation)
