--- Comment #1 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2011-12-18 09:13:57 CST --- I've not seen that error once in 50 runs when using: WINEDLLOVERRIDES=services.exe= wine winecfg and only once with: WINEDLLOVERRIDES=plugplay.exe= wine winecfg The former prevents the Drives tab from working.
The normal process list is: loader/wine C:\windows\system32\explorer.exe /desktop loader/wine C:\windows\system32\plugplay.exe loader/wine C:\windows\system32\winedevice.exe MountMgr loader/wine C:\windows\system32\services.exe server/wineserver loader/wine winecfg
Note that I had X11 up and running all the time. Might well be a race condition.
