Summary: Rise of Nations installer hangs on "Removing icons..." Product: Wine Version: 1.3.7 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: shiningarcanine@gmail.com
The Rise of Nations hangs on "Removing icons...". This is a regression in WINE 1.3.7, which does not occur in WINE 1.3.6.
You can reproduce this issue by making a fresh WINE prefix directory, running winetricks mfc42 and then running the installer. Running winetricks mfc42 is needed for the installer to work properly. Otherwise, it will hang saying that it cannot load pidgen.dll. That is probably an issue for another bug report.
