Bug #: 31226 Summary: MathCad 15 installer fails without native dotnet35sp1 Product: Wine Version: 1.5.8 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com Classification: Unclassified
Tried repeating bug 31201 without native dotnet35sp1. When the installer's progress bar hits about 50%, I get a dialog Fatal error in gc GetThreadContext failed Using ps, I see it's coming from "C:\users\dank\Temp\msi1c95.tmp HandBooks" This is a 24KB .net executable, and running it by hand while that dialog is still up generates another instance of the fatal error.
One sees lots of this error message on the web, mostly from Unity3d apps conflicting with antivirus programs. I also recall seeing this before when using Mono in Wine, so it's not specific to this app.
See also bug 30914 for another GetThreadContext failure which may be the same problem.
