Summary: winemenubuilder hangs sometimes Product: Wine Version: 1.3.20 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
(This problem was also mentioned in bug 14026.)
Every now and then, winemenubuilder seems to hang.
It happened to me just now installing progecad 2010 trial. winedbg btall (see attachment) shows that winemenubuilder was started with -w, which is described in the source like this: * If the -w parameter is passed, and the shortcut cannot be created, * this program will wait for the parent process to finish and then try * again. This covers the case when a ShortCut is created before the * executable containing its icon. It hung in WaitForParentProcess().
