Summary: Opening wine configuration tool for the first time brings up an error window - winemenubuilder Product: Wine Version: 1.3.10 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: veejunk1@hotmail.com
Running the "Configure Wine" utility brought up an error message window "winemenubuilder.exe has encountered an error...".
This happened after a clean install of Wine-1.3.10 in ubuntu 10.04 from the ppa.
No windows applications were installed - I just went to Applications>Wine>Configure Wine to see what the defaults were and the Error window popped up. After a while the configuration window appeared and seems to be ok. I closed the config and error windows and tried it again. No error message this time, the config window came up ok.
This looks like a first run issue. Perhaps the config window code expects at least one windows app to have been installed?
This gives a bad impression of wine to a new user.
