gdiplus.dll or it's depencies missing?

[JensA]

I have a weird issue where a system dll "gdiplus.dll" seems to be there but cannot be loaded?

I used bottles to set up a win64 prefix/environment. I was able to complete the setup from

Code: Select all

https://download.betreuung.de/2013/atwork_extrasmall_setup.exe

.
Trying to start one of the installed exe files fails with

Code: Select all

028c:err:module:import_dll Loading library gdiplus.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\atwork\\VFP9R.DLL") failed (error c000007b).

The gdiplus.dll is there in system32 when I look with the file manager.
So why would it not load?

I remembered a tool:

Code: Select all

https://www.dependencywalker.com/

and put that into the wine environment and when checking gdiplus.dll I get some errors.

Code: Select all

Error: At least one required implicit or forwarded dependency was not found.
Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.

And I'm lost. What could be wrong here and how to fix it?

thanks

Hi, no idea what goes wrong, I opened a bugreport here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57494

See https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57494#c1 for the cause.

Current workaround that works for me:

rm -rf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64/GDIPLUS.DLL

wine wineboot -u

wine admin.exe --> now starts ok for me.

Cool, thanks for checking this out!

Considering there are regular updates for the software that might break it again it's probably too risky to run with wine. A business depends on it ...

thank you
