Bug #: 34406 Summary: regression: Finale Notepad 2012 doesn't copy/create user files on program start Product: Wine Version: 1.7.0 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: advapi32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: s_chriscollins@hotmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Program: Finale NotePad 2012 (free download) Download URL: http://www.finalemusic.com/products/finale-notepad/ Commit causing regression: 5851032d07c321f2c050187115cfd8e21b5f3f49 (advapi: Implement SetNamedSecurityInfoW on top of SetSecurityInfo.)
Reproducing the Bug: 1) Download and install Finale NotePad 2012. 2) Run the Finale Notepad 2012 application. 3) Click "OK" or "Continue" on all the dialogs, and then you'll get to a registration dialog. Click "Remind Me Later".
Result: Finale throws an error: "Finale NotePad cannot start the Wizard because a necessary data file (Maestro Font Default.FTM) could not be found."
Expected result: NotePad should bring up the new song wizard, which it does correctly using Wine 1.4 and all versions leading up to the commit listed above.
Here's what appears to be happening: When installing Finale NotePad, default user files are copied to "drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/MakeMusic". When running the NotePad application for the first time after installation, files are copied from this public location to the current user at "drive_c/users/[username]/Application Data/MakeMusic", and some additional configuration files are created in this same location.
After the regression, these user-specific files are never copied/created, causing NotePad to throw the error. Once these files are created, perhaps by an earlier version of Wine, NotePad will run even in newer versions of Wine.
