Multi-core CPU/machines seem to escalate this problem further. Basically you have to loop .NET Framework 1.1 install again and again in clean WINEPREFIX until you hit exception dialog. --- snip --- $ wine --version wine-1.1.13-272-gf63d950 --- snip --- --- loop --- $ wineserver -k $ rm -rf .wine $ wine dotnetfx11.exe /q:a /c:"install.exe /qb /l" --- loop --- The installer is almost at its end, running the .NET 1.0 -> 1.1 migration tool. When the exception dialog pops up, dismiss the message with "OK", the installer will finish. Manually run the migration tool thereafter.

Only threads 0x18 and 0x1B are of interest. Thread 0x18 is actually zeroing GC heap memory at this point, causing the fault.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10134 Summary: regtlib.exe from .NET 1.1's dotnetfx.exe installer crashes with heap problem Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other URL: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displayl ang=en&FamilyID=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3 OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download, Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-ole AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: dank(a)kegel.com This one was mentioned at the end of bug 5358, but I only just now got around to isolating it. I ran into this in the context of bug 5358 (Microsoft Dynamics GP Trial). That app comes with dotnetfx.exe, which fails to install. The problem is a heap corruption or something in our COM implementation, as it fails slightly faster and cleaner with WINEDEBUG=warn+heap, and succeeds with native dcom98. The problem can be reproduced with the .net 1.1 installer downloadable from Microsoft. This has the same md5 signature as the one on the cdrom. Oddly, when I first hit this it took ten seconds, the second time it took half an hour, no idea why the speed difference. I think it might be WINEDEBUG=warn+heap makes it run slow, that's another sign of an uninitialized variable. Here's the script I used to demonstrate the bug. I'll attach fail.log. set -x wineserver -k rm -rf .wine export WINE=$HOME/wine-git/wine export WINEPREFIXCREATE=$HOME/wine-git/tools/wineprefixcreate sh ~/bin/winetricks fakeie6 # install .net 1.1 test -f dotnetfx.exe || wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/a/c/aac39226-8825-44ce-90e3-bf8203… # fwiw, md5sum dotnetfx.exe is 52456ac39bbb4640930d155c15160556 # WINEDEBUG=warn+heap,+process $WINE dotnetfx.exe # Here's how it fails: #trace:process:CreateProcessW app L"c:\\windows\\system32\\URTTEMP\\regtlib.exe" cmdline L"\"c:\\windows\\system32\\URTTEMP\\regtlib.exe\" \"c:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v1.1.4322\\mscorlib.tlb\"" #warn:heap:HEAP_ValidateInUseArena Heap 0x110000: invalid in-use arena magic for 0x11a1a8 #wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xaaaaaaba at address 0x7ec89683 (thread 0023), starting debugger... # OK, so run just the failing command: WINEDEBUG=warn+heap,+ole $WINE c:\\windows\\system32\\URTTEMP\\regtlib.exe c:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v1.1.4322\\mscorlib.tlb > fail.log 2>&1 # Yep, that fails very nicely -- but passes with native dcom98! sh ~/bin/winetricks dcom98 WINEDEBUG=warn+heap,+process $WINE c:\\windows\\system32\\URTTEMP\\regtlib.exe c:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v1.1.4322\\mscorlib.tlb > ok.log 2>&1 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

According to the docs http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/misc-things-to-configure#AEN4… and also according to this rather odious comment http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2007-August/027715.html unc paths, should work, all you do is create a symlink and you are done. Well, I am under intense deadline pressure and I just spent two days of effort trying to get a client/server app to run that requires unc paths. And finally after a lot of study and banging of head against brick wall, finally I find this bug #425 which makes it pretty darn clear that not only does unc path not work, but it never actually has worked!!!! http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425 So I ask that you kindly please fix the docs so that others are not subjected to the same levels of tribulations which I have just needlessly gone through. That bug has been open since 2002, I see no indication that it is going to get fixed any time soon. I have the highest respect and admiration for the winehq project and the people who created it, but this sort of thing is a major black mark against wine. I will be very reluctant to attempt to use wine in the future. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email 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.
