Bug ID: 46957 Summary: Safecracker (1998): Installer freezes on wine versions above 3.21 Product: Wine Version: 4.5 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: odecif@gmail.com Distribution: ---
The software is the game Safecracker by Daydream Software from 1998.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert the CD into the drive / mount the ISO 2. Start the installer 3. Installer starts in a window and you choose language 4. Next step, select path to install (C:/SC by default) and click OK 5. Now the installer freezes and nothing happens.
There is very little console information, probably due to the software being written in Macromedia Director 5.0 which is really old (even Windows XP has some issues with this game).
In Wine 3.21, the installer continues to copy files and finish the install flow.
Attached you may find the debug log from the command: WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" wine /mnt/mount2/SC32INST.EXE >> sc_install_log.txt 2>&1
When run with debug flag the installer does not freeze but crashes instead.
