Summary: Newer version of wine do not function properly Product: Wine Version: 0.9.22. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wine-kernel AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: philip.nystromer@telia.com
I use wine together with ie6 for an important application where my service provider requires ie6 and windows (you can think whatever you would like about this service provider but this is the way it is).
Everything worked excellent before I upgraded my wine installation from wine-0.9.10 to wine-0.9.28.
After the upgrade I have not been able to run ie6 w/o problems and the client sw from my service provider could not be run properly either. I have spend considerable time to try to figure out the root cause why these two appications can't run properly on my latest wine-0.9.28 installation.
Finally I rolled back to wine-0.9.10 and everything got back to order. My apps work again (I tried a few, but not all version between .9.10 and .9.28 with no luck).
I just would like to convey my frustration over the newer versions of wine. I think it is very unfortunate that a new version makes it impossible to use applications on wine. Through my root cause search, I recognize that many people are in the same situation as I have been.
Please attend, with high priority, to this general problem. Wine is otherwise a blessing.
