Bug ID: 55885 Summary: wine prefix not updated correctly when going back to previous wine version (new wow64, Framemaker 8) Product: Wine Version: 8.20 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ulrich.gemkow@ikr.uni-stuttgart.de Distribution: ---
In the past it was possible to use an existing wine prefix with an older version of wine: When starting the old wine version, the prefix was updated according to the old version; It was possible to switch back and forth again.
At least in one configuration I use regulary this does no longer work: After updating the wine prefix to wine 8.20 switching back to an old version shows the error
00d8:err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception stack overflow 16 bytes addr 0x7bc543cd stack 0x30ff0 (0x30000-0x31000-0x130000)
It seems that updating the old prefix is only done partially.
I am using the new experimental WOW64 mode, the used program is Framemaker 8 and the old wine version is wine 8.12 (which we use as reference).
It is expected that switching back and forth should work? If yes, I can further investigate and try to bisect. If this is not supposed to work, please close this bug report.
Thanks!
