Summary: All apps (various installshield setup.exes) seem to crash Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: akohlsmith-wine@mixdown.ca
Working with some very bright individuals in #winehq we've come to the conclusion that there is something unusual about my setup. It is a stock Slackware 10.1 system, stock kernel.org kernel 2.6.13 SMP (HT) on a P4 system with 768MB of RAM. I was running with the kernel default of CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM but it was suggested I use CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G to get the 2G/2G split instead of the default 3G/1G... no change.
Wine is compiled clean from CVS HEAD (as of 20051014), rm -rf ~/.wine before make install. Running as a normal user. Also tried forcing windows version to Win2k and copying comctl32.dll over (and forcing native instead of builtin use of comctl32).
Almost all apps fail immediately and with a very very similar backtrace. Some will get the InstallShield "initializing" progressbar, some just crash right away without putting anything on the screen.
I'm running xorg 6.8.1 on an ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (Mobility 7500) -- this is an IBM Thinkpad T30.
An example backtrace from a failed setup.exe attempt is at the bottom of this bug report (palm desktop 4.14), but two different versions of Agendus also fail pretty much the same way. Please note that there are libraries loaded above 0x7fffffff, which I was told is unusual.
Hopefully someone can assist.
