Bug ID: 37800 Summary: Skype 6.14 fails to start (fatal error, Wininet.dll) Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wininet Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: computergeoffrey@zoho.com Distribution: ---
Steps:
1. Create a 32 bit wine prefix 2. Install Skype in it, using this executable: http://hugsmile.eu/file/wine/SkypeSetupFull.exe 3. Launch Skype using its shortcut (.desktop file)
Skype does not start, and instead displays this warning: "Failed to get proc address for PrivacyGetZonePreferenceW (Wininet.dll)"
Please note that I have installed ie6 in order to get the login screen working (otherwise it does not display the login page correctly). However, I don't get to the login screen :)
My other tries to get Skype working:
1. Execute winetricks ie7 2. Start Skype 3. Login screen flickers in black. OpenGL/hardware acceleration issue?
1. Execute winetricks ie8 2. Start Skype 3. Login screen is not shown, instead a Fatal Error is displayed: "Failed to load library 'URLMON.DLL'"
Putting (copying it over the existing file) the Windows 7-native URLMON.DLL in my wineprefix in drive_c/windows/system32 doesn't help either.
