Hello folks,

confirming still present. Refining summary to collect more applications here.

Also encountered with 'Windows 95' github project. Windows 95 running in an
Electron app for the memes ;-)

Selecting 'Machine' -> 'Go to Disk Image' in main menu ought to open explorer
window.

--- snip ---
$ pwd
/home/focht/.wine/drive_c/users/focht/Local Settings/Application Data/windows95

$ wine ./windows95.exe
...
Sending "SHOW_DISK_IMAGE"
02c4:fixme:shell:SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems 0x103ddef8 1 0xb1ffb94 0x0: stub
--- snip ---

The Electron / Squirrel-based installer suffers from bug 40613 ("Multiple
applications require UAC implementation to run installer/app as a normal user
instead of administrator (WhatsApp Desktop, Smartflix, Squirrel Installers,
OneDrive)")

Since 'runas' was disabled in Wine-Staging 5.16+ you could use the hack from
bug 40613 and rebuild Wine from source. Alternatively use my nifty one-liner
which doesn't require any Wine source change as it hot-patches the installer,
bypassing the UAC check:

--- snip ---
$ echo "set *((unsigned short *)0x004073EA) = 0x9046" | \
    winedbg --gdb ./windows95-2.3.0-setup-ia32.exe --rerunningWithoutUAC
--- snip ---

The app works with both, Wine-Mono or MS .NET Framework 4.5.x

You need at least 'WINEDLLOVERRIDES=libglesv2.dll=d' as workaround to make the
main menu render which allows to send the command (bug 44985).

If you want to see the full Wine meme, use WinVer 'Windows 10' setting. This
makes the emulator client window render all content. Yes, Windows 95 actually
boots/runs instantly when you press 'start'. Most of it can be attributed to
usage of Electron framework and v86 project though.
