Bug ID: 48022 Summary: Kindle 1.16.44025: 0009:err:module:import_dll ... not found Product: Wine Version: 4.18 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: sebastian.miele@gmail.com Distribution: ---
When using wine-4.18-1 or wine-staging-4.18-1 on Arch Linux Kindle 1.16 does not start. A whole series of messages like
0009:err:module:import_dll Library Qt5WebKitWidgets.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle\Kindle.exe") not found
is printed to the terminal. However, the dll files are all present in the same directory where Kindle.exe is.
Everything works fine with wine-4.17-1 and earlier packages.
The steps by which I can reliably reproduce the problem are along the following lines:
cd export WINEARCH=win32 rm -rf .wine winecfg cp KindleForPC-installer-1.16.44025.exe .wine/drive_c
# Switch off Network so that Kindle has no chance to auto-update # before instructing it not to do that.
wine 'C:/KindleForPC-installer-1.16.44025.exe' # This runs fine and even successfully starts Kindle at the end.
wine 'C:/Program Files/Amazon/Kindle/Kindle.exe' # This aborts with the above-mentioned error messages when using # wine(-staging)-4.18-1. But it does work with wine-4.17-1.
I have taken the file KindleForPC-installer-1.16.44025.exe from .cache/winetricks after winetricks kindle. But I did not use winetricks since encountering the problem.
