Bug ID: 39096 Summary: Nvidia Physx uninstaller completely removes PATH registry key from 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' Product: Wine Version: 1.7.49 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, Installer Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: gyebro69@gmail.com Distribution: ---
When creating a new prefix, the registry key 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\PATH' contains the paths C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\system32\wbem The Nvidia Physx installer adds 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common' to the already existing path. When you remove Physx using 'wine uninstaller', the whole PATH registry key is removed. The installer should only remove the 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common' path, which was added by the installer itself.
1. create a new wineprefix 2. winetricks physx (start regedit and see that the new path was added). 3. launch 'wine uninstaller' and select Physx to remove. After Physx was removed open regedit and look for the PATH registry key under 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' ...it's missing.
Plain terminal output doesn't show too much: err:msi:msi_dialog_icon_control Failed to load bitmap L"Icon" err:msi:msiobj_release Invalid handle! err:msi:msi_dialog_create_controls no handler for element type L"Billboard" err:msi:msiobj_release Invalid handle! err:msi:msiobj_release Invalid handle!
