This is different from the usual broken apps a la "I failed at porting my 32-bit app to 64-bit" (pointer truncation). In this case, pointers from certain allocations are broken into multiple parts and used as indices into multi-level lookup tables. Pitfall: there is a 44-bit user-mode VA limitation (8TB) for 64-bit Windows which was lifted starting with Windows 8.1+. Wine doesn't respect the 44-bit pre-Windows 8.1 virtual address space limits, allowing process heaps to be placed in 0000'7Fxx'0000'0000 range (128 TB) which causes out-of-bounds access to lookup tables when indices overflow (derived from pointer bits). The exception occurs in entry point, causing 'msxml6.dll' to be unloaded. One workaround is to move Wine's top-down allocations/heaps into 8 TB VA range (Wine preloader) and impose same user-mode address space bits limits as with all 64-bit Windows versions < 8.1 to stay "compatible". I've tested it and it works for native here. Not sure if it's worth to change though. I don't know if a separate 64-bit MSXML6 re-distributable package exists that has been fixed wrt Windows 8.1+ address space limits. MSXML6 is part of Windows OS for newer versions and automatically kept up-to-date. $ sha1sum msxml6_x64.msi 1eb84eeae7729ea5db7fe79779f4e216114261ba msxml6_x64.msi $ du -sh msxml6_x64.msi 2.6M msxml6_x64.msi $ wine --version wine-4.0-276-g84459ba94b Regards -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 54455] New: CodeMeterRuntime: Install fails with '00c4:err:service:process_send_command service protocol error - failed to write pipe!'
by WineHQ Bugzilla Nov. 20, 2025

Nov. 20, 2025

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54455 Bug ID: 54455 Summary: CodeMeterRuntime: Install fails with '00c4:err:service:process_send_command service protocol error - failed to write pipe!' Product: Wine Version: 8.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: irmin.okic(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 74012 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=74012 Terminal output of the installer. Steps to reproduce: * Install dotnet48 into the prefix with winetricks. * Download CodeMeterRuntime 64bit 7.60 (but earlier versions had the same error) for Windows from: https://www.wibu.com/us/support/user/downloads-user-software.html * Execute the installer. * To reduce complexity in the installer on the Custom Setup step select "don't install" for all components except "CodeMeter Runtime Kit". I.e. "don't install" for Network Server, WibuShellExtension, User Help, Automatic server search, Remote access to WebAdmin. * Finish the installation. The installer will state that it ended prematurely. The relevant errors are probably: 00c4:err:service:process_send_command service protocol error - failed to write pipe! 016c:err:msi:ITERATE_StartService failed to start service L"CmWebAdmin.exe" (1053) 016c:err:msi:execute_script Execution of script 0 halted; action L"StartServices" returned 1627 016c:err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallExecute" returned 1627 In Wine 7 I ignored the installer error with the following arguments to the installer: /ComponentArgs "*":"/qn ADDLOCAL=Complete,DotNET_Modules,AutomaticServerSearch REMOVE=WibuShellExtension,EnableNetworkServer,AccessToWebAdmin /l*v C:\users\z0rb\Temp\keyinst.log /norestart DISABLEROLLBACK=1 PROP_CMCC=\"none\"" The important argument was DISABLEROLLBACK=1. This meant that I can keep the install even with the failure. Then run CodeMeterCC.exe which started the CodeMeter windows service. With that service I could use further software that uses CodeMeter as their licensing service. In wine 8 even that service (together with CmWebAdmin.exe) started having the "failed to write pipe error!". I am out of workarounds at the moment and asking here for help. If you can instruct me with further debug flags and similar to narrow down the error I am ready to put in the work. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Product: Wine Version: 10.0-rc2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: logos128(a)gmail.com Regression SHA1: 2e6820ee4ba30b1a8831d29937a369b9b548656b Distribution: ArchLinux Usually this black window (rectangle) appears at the same place as the minimized window. When the app window is maximized again, it covers the black window. After several minimize/unminimize attempts, though, the black rectangle will appear elsewhere on the screen. After that the main window unminimizes at this new place, with its window controls (close box, minimize box, etc.) unresponsive to mouse clicks. SimHub (https://www.simhubdash.com) is a WPF app and requires .NET 4.8 to function properly. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 57109] New: Ableton Live 12: Max for Live fails to start

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57109 Bug ID: 57109 Summary: Ableton Live 12: Max for Live fails to start Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: pedrodarch15b(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 76997 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=76997 wine output Ableton Live 12 (both Suite and Trial versions) won't start Max for Live. It gets stuck on "Starting Max...", and renaming the Max folder to something else (this tricks Ableton into thinking that Max is not installed) makes the program start just fine. The cause of this issue seems to be a regression in ucrtbase (Max for Live was working just fine before Wine 9.12 if I recall correctly). By installing the program multiple times I have noticed that Max does start upon launching Ableton just after installing, but not on subsequent runs. I have tested the program on a clean prefix (mostly, I did set wined3d renderer to vulkan using winetricks), using a fresh build of latest git wine, compiled locally with GCC 14 on Arch Linux. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 57309] New: [Regression] Text wrapping issue with DrawTextA/DrawTextW

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57309 Bug ID: 57309 Summary: [Regression] Text wrapping issue with DrawTextA/DrawTextW Product: Wine Version: 9.0 Hardware: aarch64 OS: MacOS Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: win32u Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: andrews05(a)gmail.com Created attachment 77255 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=77255 Text not wrapping at the correct position In the game EV Nova, current versions of Wine appear to incorrectly render multiline text, with text sometimes extending beyond the right edge of the bounding box and getting clipped. I have observed this issue in Wine 9.0 and 9.17, as well as WineCX 22.1 and 23.7. I believe it did work correctly in WineCX 22.0 and I ended up copying "win32u.dll.so" from that version into WineCX 22.1 to get it to work there too (I can attach this file if it would be helpful). To reproduce this issue you can download EV Nova from here: https://github.com/andrews05/EV-Nova-CE/releases/tag/r3 Press the "x" key at the main menu to display a text dialog where you should see the issue. I'd be happy to investigate and attempt to fix the issue myself if someone could give me a pointer on where to start. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 50193] New: Minimizing a window of a Delphi app leads to a window completely disappearing without any ability to restore it

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50193 Bug ID: 50193 Summary: Minimizing a window of a Delphi app leads to a window completely disappearing without any ability to restore it Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, regression, source, testcase Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: dmitry(a)baikal.ru Regression SHA1: 61e50e15ba45ad54655f98619f5ef33917033165 Distribution: --- Created attachment 68708 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=68708 test app (source + binary) Applications created with Delphi create secondary top level windows without WS_EX_APPWINDOW style set, and minimizing such a window leads to a window completely disappearing without any ability to restore it. This is a regression caused by commit 61e50e15ba45ad54655f98619f5ef33917033165 Author: Alexandre Julliard <julliard(a)winehq.org> Date: Fri May 28 12:14:43 2010 +0200 winex11: Map zero-size windows and set an empty window region for them. Admittedly Windows behaviour is weird: it minimizes such windows in an MDI style with desktop as an MDI client and Delphi window as an MDI child. https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/196455 is an attempt to fix this regression. Before this patch: no taskbar window for a normal or minimized owned window. After this patch: no taskbar window for normal owned window, after a window being minimized a taskbar button appears, after a window being restored a taskbar button gets removed. Attachment contains a simple test app (source + binary) that reproduces this problem. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
