[Bug 37562] New: Skype opens apps.skype.com on every start
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37562 Bug ID: 37562 Summary: Skype opens apps.skype.com on every start Product: Wine Version: 1.7.31 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: t.artem(a)mailcity.com Distribution: Red Hat Most likely there's something missing in Wine so Skype cannot change the state of "apps.skype.com has already been shown". P.S. Make sure you deleted login.cab before trying to debug this issue (proper HTML support is not yet there, see bug 28457).

It stops binding and defers further action to default registry protocol association which in turns creates an own browser process (or reuses existing native browser). Likely the same issue as bug 24285 or other bugs with applications that make use of embedded browser control but get external browser processes via default registry assoc handler. 'winetricks -q ie8' works around but only 'urlmon' and its link dependencies are really needed here. $ sha1sum SkypeSetup.msi 7b600669da6d47d9a89b2093fea845daa02c81a8 SkypeSetup.msi $ du -sh SkypeSetup.msi 28M SkypeSetup.msi $ wine --version wine-1.7.31 Regards -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Hello folks,

Yeah... Not sure that anyone would really like it to be fixed (except Microsoft), but let's try anyway... -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

This will obviously also prevent you from opening links in Skype (you'll have to copy-paste links to your browser). It will also prevent opening links from any other app in the same wine prefix. Steps: * Open the wine regedit * Create key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineBrowser" * In it, create the string "Browsers" with a value of "true" (your no-op command) * Append " "%1"" to the value in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command" Credit: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-make-wine-open-links-in-your.html -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
