[Bug 9404] New: cannot select TWAIN source in irfanview
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org May 29, 2026

May 29, 2026

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9404 Summary: cannot select TWAIN source in irfanview Product: Wine Version: 0.9.43. Platform: PC URL: http://www.irfanview.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: thestig(a)google.com In Irfanview, users should be able to select the TWAIN source via file -> select TWAIN source. Clicking that menu item should bring up a dialog box to let users pick which scanner to use. In Wine, no dialog box ever comes up, so the program uses the first TWAIN source it finds, which is the gphoto2 driver. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Steps to reproduce: 1) Start the installer. On Language selection screen, press "Next" 2) On the next screen, accept License Agreement and press "Next" Expected result: On the appeared screen, there is should be a combo box "Select your country" with a list of countries (on Windows Vista it is populated) Actual result: The combo box is empty, nothing in the terminal. wine version: wine-5.2-203-gb253bd6 sha1sum install_easyshare_8.2.0.exe d4725af6e42d49b2dfee83a24979ece235d66fd5 install_easyshare_8.2.0.exe -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Perhaps it has to do with the particular API being used (evecvp, etc)? For example, if CMake invokes it with > execute_process( > COMMAND git --version > OUTPUT_VARIABLE VERSION > OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE > ) then we see: > ➜ wine cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles" >003b:fixme:winsock:WS_EnterSingleProtocolW unknown Protocol <0x00000000> >003b:fixme:winsock:WS_EnterSingleProtocolW unknown Protocol <0x00000000> >wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000000 at address 0x5db52b (thread 0045), starting debugger... I've attached a project that allows you to reproduce this issue: 1) Make sure you have zip and p7zip-full installed 2) Setup wine with "wineboot" 3) Unzip the project and cd into it 4) Run ./setup.sh to download git, cmake, etc 5) Run ./test.sh to exercise the bug -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

When you fix it, make sure the name offset passed to 'monitor_load' and 'monitor_load_by_port' is still correct because it's used to match registry sub-keys ('Local Port' etc.). With that part fixed, the installer completes successfully.

[Bug 57329] New: Desktop files generated by Wine do not conform to the Desktop Entry Specification
by WineHQ Bugzilla May 29, 2026

May 29, 2026

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57329 Bug ID: 57329 Summary: Desktop files generated by Wine do not conform to the Desktop Entry Specification Product: Wine Version: 9.20 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: meator.dev(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Desktop files generated by Wine do not conform to the latest (and older) version to of the Desktop Entry Specification, primarily the Exec key specification: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.5/exec-variable… For example, this is how the desktop file for Notepad++ looks like (located at /home/meator/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Notepad++.desktop): [Desktop Entry] Name=Notepad++ Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/meator/.wine" wine C:\\\\ProgramData\\\\Microsoft\\\\Windows\\\\Start\\ Menu\\\\Programs\\\\Notepad++.lnk Type=Application StartupNotify=true Path=/home/meator/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Notepad++ Icon=7ABC_notepad++.0 StartupWMClass=notepad++.exe I will ignore the `env WINEPREFIX="/home/meator/.wine"` part of Exec now. The Exec key parsing is done in two rounds (that's why there are so many backslashes). The first round is common to all keys of type string, localestring and iconstring (which includes the Exec key). The standard mandates: > The escape sequences \s, \n, \t, \r, and \\ are supported for values of type string, localestring and iconstring, meaning ASCII space, newline, tab, carriage return, and backslash, respectively. This is how the command line looks after undoing the first layer of escapes: > wine C:\\users\\meator\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start\ Menu\\Programs\\Microsoft\ Office\ PowerPoint\ Viewer\ 2003.lnk Then the Exec quoting continues. The standard mandates: > Quoting must be done by enclosing the argument between double quotes and escaping the double quote character, backtick character ("`"), dollar sign ("$") and backslash character ("\") by preceding it with an additional backslash character. Implementations must undo quoting before expanding field codes and before passing the argument to the executable program. Reserved characters are space (" "), tab, newline, double quote, single quote ("'"), backslash character ("\"), greater-than sign (">"), less-than sign ("<"), tilde ("~"), vertical bar ("|"), ampersand ("&"), semicolon (";"), dollar sign ("$"), asterisk ("*"), question mark ("?"), hash mark ("#"), parenthesis ("(") and (")") and backtick character ("`"). The first problem is that the second argument is not enclosed in double quotes, so all escapes in it are unspecified. The second problem is that `\ ` space escape is used, which is not specified (this is the most severe problem). It is specified as a "reserved character", but not as a character requiring a backslash escape. Because of these issues, fully conformant desktop file parsers will fail to parse desktop files generated by Wine. This is how a fixed Notepad++ desktop file looks like: [Desktop Entry] Name=Notepad++ Exec=env "WINEPREFIX=/home/meator/.wine" wine "C:\\\\ProgramData\\\\Microsoft\\\\Windows\\\\Start Menu\\\\Programs\\\\Notepad++.lnk" Type=Application StartupNotify=true Path=/home/meator/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Notepad++ Icon=7ABC_notepad++.0 StartupWMClass=notepad++.exe I have also quoted `WINEPREFIX=/home/meator/.wine` in whole, because the entire argument should be quoted according to the standard (but I consider this issue to be less important).

[Bug 49720] New: Family Tree Maker 2017 installer fails after numerous "fixme" console messages

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49720 Bug ID: 49720 Summary: Family Tree Maker 2017 installer fails after numerous "fixme" console messages Product: Wine Version: 5.14 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: andrewemt(a)hotmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 67981 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=67981 terminal output log from wine command-line invocation of FTMinstaller When trying to install a legal copy of Family Tree Maker 2017 on Fedora Core 31 (kernel 5.7.11-100.fc31.x86_64) using the Fedora distro's version of Wine 5.14, after getting most of the way through the install, after "copying files" (according to the install wizard), it suddenly stops and displays a dialog stating that the installation failed) after the terminal window that executed the wine command spews a series of fixme errors. Attached is the terminal window log showing all the fixme errors from Wine. The current working directory was my personal directory under drive_c/users, which is where I copied the Family Tree Maker install program FTM2017.EXE. The large gaps of blank lines in the log were me adding carriage returns in the terminal to separate different windows in the InstallShield wizard. The last clump appeared while the InstallShield file copy progress window was showing, followed by the installation failure window. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
