--- Comment #9 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2009-10-15 14:42:20 --- Hello,
--- quote --- Ha, you're right again. The above commands fixes the bug.
Maybe it's worth to add something to appdb about this for people who don't remove their ~/.wine every day. Thanks for the clarification again. --- quote ---
Well such problems are hard to diagnose. It was just an educated guess ;-)
In general people are better off with recreating the WINEPREFIX than using such special fixes. The last thing I want is to maintain a list of "how to repair seemingly broken WINEPREFIX" notes in appdb.
If this problem becomes more prominent one day, wine(boot) might need to schedule a run-once action for WINEPREFIXes with .NET installations to force a refresh of native image cache in case of API reordering.
Anyway, I documented this special issue here for the sake of google indexing and my lost memories so this bug was useful.
Regards
