--- Comment #14 from Hans Leidekker hans@meelstraat.net 2009-07-07 02:16:45 --- For me it still fails with the old exception message on current git. Network problem?
I have been chasing some of the ole fixme's and added an implementation of CoGetContextToken, but it didn't make a difference.
This thread looks promising though: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2009-June/076673.html
The patches in that thread don't fix the launcher but they do affect its behavior.
