Bug ID: 51475 Summary: Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x42a3a7 when trying to install vcrun2015 Product: Wine-staging Version: 6.12 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ryu.ketsueki@outlook.com CC: leslie_alistair@hotmail.com, z.figura12@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Many applications need VCRUNTIME140.dll and naturally I looked up over winetricks to install what was necessary. However, I noticed that every time I try to do that, even when I manually download the executable and run straight through wine and not winetricks, it gives that error. Last time I checked, that error is characteristic of a regression.
The program in question that is asking for that DLL is a game, The Sims 4 to be more precise. It never asked for that before, probably because it was such an old prefix. Now I nuked it to start from scratch because the previous prefix was giving errors. Turned out not to be the cause. Then I reinstalled Wine. Didn't solve the problem. Then I tried standard wine instead of wine staging. Also didn't work. I nuked the binaries and did a reinstall. Now wine is working again but now it keeps asking for that DLL that I can't install because Wine is giving that error.
Winetricks tried installing the 32bit package. I tried to manually install the 64bit one. Both gave the same error. Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x42a3a7
