[Bug 45753] New: Office 2010 reruns setup on starting any app
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45753 Bug ID: 45753 Summary: Office 2010 reruns setup on starting any app Product: Wine Version: 3.15 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: regression Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shell32 Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: dimesio(a)earthlink.net Regression SHA1: 27edd4e35c1eb3827dfb20578733242d9ed3d460 Distribution: SUSE This was tested with an existing wineprefix, where Office 2010 was already installed; bug 45208 blocks testing a fresh install. When starting an installed app, the setup program starts with a message that it is configuring Office. That quickly fails; after closing that window, another one appears with a message that Office was unable to validate the license. The regression test identified 27edd4e35c1eb3827dfb20578733242d9ed3d460 as the first bad commit. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45753 --- Comment #1 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio(a)earthlink.net> --- I just finished a regression test for what I thought was a separate problem, but it came down to the same commit. The second problem is that .lnk files are no longer displayed on Wine's virtual desktop. This is also an existing wineprefix, but a separate one from Office 2010. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Bug 45208 currently blocks retesting Office 2010 and does not look likely to be fixed any time soon. If it happens in my lifetime, I will certainly retest. However, I do want to point out that many apps have limited numbers of activations, and expecting people to use them up because of arbitrary changes to the wineprefix seems unreasonable. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

The changes are not arbitrary, they fix a real bug, and they also bring the Wine prefix environment more closely to Windows 7 and newer variants, which is currently the default reported Wine version. I guess that the same incompatible change would happen during the Windows XP to Windows 7 upgrade. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I imagine you're right, but both the wineprefixes in question were set to XP and I did not change that. Forced upgrades did not come to Windows until Windows 10. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I'm afraid that using Wine implies the continues forced upgrade... Anyway, this needs a retest before throwing even more speculations, and the retest should be done with default Windows 7 configuration. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Users could disable updates to the prefix as a workaround -- 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.

Is this really what Wine has always done, or what it should do? I would have hoped that an existing WinXP prefix would not receive a configuration change which would break a previously working prefix / application. Is it simply too complicated to avoid (either in this case or in general)? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

It's been always this way. We're just following what Windows does and there are unavoidable incompatible changes. In this particular case there were changes in environment variables. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Well, no, you're not. I did not change the Windows version from XP, and neither did your patch. What you've done is create a version that reports itself as XP but behaves like a newer version. That would never happen in real Windows. -- 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.
