Bug ID: 50475 Summary: ENM (Externes Notenmodul / external mark module) crashes on opening Product: Wine Version: 5.5 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: sebastian.arnhold387@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 69111 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=69111 Terminal log
ENM is a teacher's tool for grading students, released by the government of the state of North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW) in Germany.
Requirements for wine: winetricks mdac28 msls31 riched30 vb6run winbind
Description of the bug: When trying to install the latest version of ENM ("ENM-Setup 1.4.8.1 Stand 21.12.2020") downloaded from the official government website, the installer works fine. When trying to open the installed executable, the program crashes immediately with an "unhandled exception" error.
I tried to run it using both wine and wine-development package, trying both 64 bit and 32 bit prefix, on Ubuntu 20.04 amd64. Results are identical.
Terminal output log included.

Additional problem solving analysis: Older versions of the software definitely worked fine until June 2020, as e.g. this blog entry proves (http://www.tohschneider.de/extnotmodlinux/). Suspected a problem with ENM software itself, but when trying older version from before that time, these versions that once worked fine now also throw an "unhandled exception" error. This proves that something in wine must have changed.
Contacted developer of ENM software. Developer suspects a problem with the way wine handles the ADO drivers. Other softwares from the government school software suite show similar behaviour. Government institution sadly does not support Linux, but is interested in getting ENM software to work again.
In the interest of free education, solution would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
