--- Comment #6 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello business.kid,
how about mentioning the not-that-unimportant fact that you changed the default Windows version of the WINEPREFIX to something else?
When reporting issues you *must* state all deviations from standard settings otherwise you lengthen or even waste the time of people investigating.
Your problem has nothing to do with OP's bug report. You jumped the ship, "I can confirm this bug" = "me too" just because there is a crash. A crash can be the result of gazillion things gone wrong. Bug reports should target specific situations (API insufficiencies, incorrect implementation, undocumented behaviour) and are not meant to collect all kinds of crashes with the app -> "one problem per bug".
Back to your problem ... The application is specifically aware of Windows Vista and Windows 7. It tries to use more advanced APIs and even makes distinctions between Vista and Windows 7.
It works perfectly with Wine's default 'Windows XP'.
Nowhere in WineHQ Appdb entries for Watchtower Library is a statement "you must change Windows version to Windows Vista/Windows 7 for better experience". In many cases the opposite would be true: due to Wine insufficiencies in various areas the apps will simply not run and/or exhibit strange behaviour.
The issues with missing/insufficient Vista/Win7 API are already partially covered by existing bugs.
