--- Comment #9 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2008-12-16 05:23:16 --- Hello,
--- quote --- Seems like prefixupdate doesn't update placeholer if native version of that file has been installed. I ended wit similar problem and workaround for me was that I deleted shdocvw.dll from system32 and executed wineprefixcreate to "install" new placeholder. --- quote ---
that would contradict the first comment from bug reporter:
--- quote --- Tryied on a clean, new .wine environment (Removed ~/.wine-Folder before) with and without winetricks. --- quote ---
If he used winetricks step correctly there would be no native shdocvw.dll present at the time wineboot executes. Besides that - even if prefix update fails somehow with a native version present (existing WINEPREFIX), the install dependency would be satisfied anyway assuming native is rather recent.
Operating on broken WINEPREFIXEs with several native stuff present before the prerequisite installation would make the bug invalid anyway. You get gazillion issues which is a waste of time to track down.
