--- Comment #10 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2012-01-29 06:38:47 CST --- Hello,
hang is still present.
WIC installer is now broken due to http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/e3fb0783294b47584d3b181aae4... ("photometadatahandler: Add stub dll").
Besides "windowscodecs.dll" you will also need to remove Wine builtin "photometadatahandler.dll" from "system32" folder prior running WIC installer.
--- snip --- rm ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/windowscodecs.dll rm ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/photometadatahandler.dll --- snip ---
'winetricks windowscodecs' is also broken in this aspect.
