Summary: Wine cannot start an application from a iso mounted using gvfs (gnome archive mounter) Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: el.il@doom.co.il
Created an attachment (id=29486) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=29486) backtrace of the crash
If you try to install a game from a iso file, you need to mount the iso. the easy way is to use archive mounter, which also doesn't need root permissions.
for example, i tested it with BLUR (racing game) installation: mount using archive mounter - run wine setup.exe - the application crash instantly (attached backtrace)
but if you mount using mount isofile -o loop /mnt, run wine setup.exe - the installer starts without any problem!
BLUR isn't the only app effected. try any app and see for yourself. it is possible that this is a bug in gvfs and not in wine.
