Created attachment 56347 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=56347 Deadlock in RtlpWaitForCriticalSection
I used "wintricks ie8" to install IE8, then winecfg to removed the "wininet" override. That used to work for Skype to install and run mostly fine.
Since the referenced commit however, the override "shlwapi" needs to be removed as well, to avoid a deadlock. It should work despite this override, like it did before the regression.
