[Bug 55723] New: regsvr32 no longer provides output on success/failure
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55723 Bug ID: 55723 Summary: regsvr32 no longer provides output on success/failure Product: Wine Version: 8.17 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ntdll Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: s_chriscollins(a)hotmail.com Distribution: --- As of Wine version 8.12, regsvr32 no longer provides terminal output to indicate whether or not a DLL has successfully been registered. A regression test points to commit #dcf0bf1f as the culprit. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install WineASIO (https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio) 2. Run the included wineasio-register script, which runs regsvr32 to register the WineASIO DLL. Note that as WineASIO currently still uses libwine, the DLL registration will fail. Result: No terminal output to indicate success/failure of DLL registration. Expected result: regsvr32 should output success or failure status as it does in Wine 8.11 and earlier, e.g.: "regsvr32: Failed to load DLL '/opt/wine-devel/lib/wine/i386-unix/wineasio32.dll.so'" -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Trying to run wine's regsvr32 from a cmd prompt under windows doesn't generate any output either. By default, GUI applications (regsvr32 is) don't have their standard input/output streams bound (even to the terminal/cmd from which they have been launched). You need to bind explicitely the output of regsvr32 to the terminal For example, you could replace in the wineasio-register script: regsvr32 "${u}" by regsvr32 "${u}" | cat 2>&1 Hence, marking resolved / wontfix -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Currently our regsvr32 pretends to write output to the terminal but is in fact just silent. I would argue that we should either change regsvr32 to a console program, or stop pretending that we're outputting anything to the console. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

that would open a new console each time an application spawns regsvr32 (we could fix the CreateProcess(regsvr32...) calls in Wine to not create a console) but we can't expect all the other applications to do so -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55723 --- Comment #6 from Eric Pouech <eric.pouech(a)gmail.com> --- an evolution to regsvr32 has just landed in Wine 8.21 by default (no options), regsvr32 will use graphical message boxes to report errors when run with /s option, it will prints error messages to stderr so to get back your previous behavior, you should: - run regsvr32 with '/s' option - use stderr (instead of stdout) to capture/display output -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
