Bug ID: 49887 Summary: "EA Desktop" installer fails. Product: Wine Version: 5.17 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: dereklesho52@Gmail.com Distribution: ---
I spent some time looking into why this fails, and there's a couple of problems.
1) The installer text fails to display, so you can't see what it's telling you during installation, for instance how windows 7 (at-least SP1) is unsupported.
2) After a few seconds of installing the installer silently exits, this is due to a custom action with the function name "InitializeSession" fails, with a different return code every time. Maybe it relies on stack memory being zeroed out, I'm not sure.
3) Treating the action failure as a success gets us a bit further, they start their service, which seems to crash during initialization. I'm looking at this now.
