--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht  ---
Hello folks,

dupe of bug 37306 (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37306#c2)

Every few months this comes up again with people using Watchtower library
(recent one being bug 37880)

Again: Don't change the default Windows version of the WINEPREFIX unless you
know what it implies and can handle the consequences.

If you insist on using Vista+ setting you *must* state it explicitly in the bug
report otherwise you waste the time of people trying to figure out the reason.

Also check appdb entry of WatchTower Library for information:
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1485

For end-user support visit WineHQ user forums.

Also don't put exception messages as bug summaries.
That's just equally bad to "something crashes".

http://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs

One of the very first statements says:

"Put the name of the application in the Summary field, followed by a short
description of the error, e.g. "

Regards
