Gecko broken in Wine 5 (Ubuntu 20.04 with stable and development)

[thomiel]

Hi!

I can't make use of the gecko anymore, it seems.

The .msi files have been downloaded in .cache/wine and files are present in the windows system directories, as far as I can tell.

The stable build says:

Code: Select all

Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.

Development adds this to above message:

Code: Select all

0009:err:mshtml:create_document_object Failed to init Gecko, returning CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE

This is the software it is happening to: https://www.easyct.de/downloads.php?cat ... nload_id=1 (or in the AppDB: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... n&iId=2908)

Am I the only one who is affected?

Btw.: On https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko it might be helpful to clarify which packet goes where.

If Gecko is crashing on you, you can download a debug build from http://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/ to get more verbose logs. Download the -unstripped.tar.bz2 file for the version you are using (on a 64 bit system, download both the x86 and x86_64 tarballs), unpack the files, and replace the files in $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32/gecko/version and (on 64 bit) $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/sysWoW64/gecko/version with the extracted files.

I mean the trap that 32bit files sit in sysWoW64 and 64bit files are found in system32 on a 64 bit system.
