--- Comment #1 from Cedric cedric.dewijs@eclipso.eu --- Retest running the installer from ~/Download, this works fine.
$ rm -rf ~/.wine $ wineboot $ cd Downloads/ $ wine npp.8.1.7.Installer.exe choose english (default) choose next choose I agree (for the license agreement) choose next (for the installation directory) choose next (for the type of install) choose install choose finish (and leave the checkbox run notepad++ enabled) Notepad++ runs without problems. Close Notepad++
Strange. now run the installer again from the home directory, this also works fine. $ cd $ rm -rf ~/.wine $ wineboot $ wine ~/Downloads/npp.8.1.7.Installer.exe choose english (default) choose next choose I agree (for the license agreement) choose next (for the installation directory) choose next (for the type of install) choose install choose finish (and leave the checkbox run notepad++ enabled) Notepad++ runs without problems. Close Notepad++
Strange, I can't reproduce it. Apologies for the noise, please mark this bug invalid.
