why is my windows application installer(installshield) calling readlin()

Post by hwageorge »

Platform: Fedora 39
WINE: wine-8.19(staging)

my Windows application(proprietary) fails to install.
I used "strace -f" to see what's happening underneath.
interestingly enough, it is using readlink() to locate files and directories.

for example,

pid 53999] readlink("/home/george/.wine/drive_c/users/george/Temp/{992D387E-D0A2-407E-BC21-FE3B8476F831}/myPROgram_Install.msi", 0x7fff57dd79e0, 1023) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

obviously such is unexpected.

anyone has any clues what might be happening here?
