Well, even if Qt4 on Linux has the same problem, it's still a bug in wine if it works correctly on Windows.
I remark some people are this problem on Windows too and i search with google but there aren't solutions...
Which is the Service Pack for Seven for Wine ?
Since my comments in September I am no longer able to even partially download anything. Also, Origin appears to be more broken (for reasons outside this bug).
However, it still works correctly, for me, under Windows 7.
But, it is still hard for me to put the blame entirely down in one place. Origin has never been the most robust program.
It is still trying to invoke parts of the OS that Wine does not support though, see the first attachment, the errors about (paraphrasing) "class {dcb00c01-570f-4a9b-8d69-199fdba5723b} not registered", is something for Vista and above, and the downloads don't even start any more.
I used to be able to see the URLs it was trying to download, by upping the WININET and WINHTTP logging, but since the latest versions, I can't even see that, as it doesn't seem to confirmation that the files even exist.
I don't have a version of XP to test this any more, but is XP support being phased out of Origin?
If someone points me in the right direction, and real-life doesn't get too involved, I might do something about it.
