Bug ID: 50759 Summary: automatic wine-gecko installation ignored - clean WINEPREFIX - regression Product: Wine Version: 6.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: mshtml Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: bob.mt.wya@gmail.com Distribution: ---
wine-gecko is not automatically installed with Wine 6.2.
Bisected to:
5b362f07f67db5f90ac355c62a1f3d73658c4346 is the first bad commit commit 5b362f07f67db5f90ac355c62a1f3d73658c4346 Author: Jacek Caban jacek@codeweavers.com Date: Tue Feb 9 13:51:59 2021 +0100
mshtml: Move load_gecko() call from DllRegisterServer to DllInstall.
With this patch, Wine will no longer ensure that Wine Gecko is available during prefix creation and update. We have shared Gecko installations and good support for installing Gecko on demand now.
To ensure that Gecko is installed, one may use DllInstall with something like |regsvr32 -i mshtml|.

--- Comment #3 from Jacek Caban jacek@codeweavers.com --- It was intentional. If you don't have Gecko in shared location, Wine will install it on demand. If you want to force installing it, you may use: wine regsvr32 -i mshtml (as mentioned in the commit). Why do you want it installed on prefix creation?

Thanks for getting back - so promptly ...
This is on Gentoo... So if you enable USE +gecko - then the app-emulation/wine-gecko package is installed globally, on the system, as in:
sha256sum /usr/share/wine/gecko/wine-gecko-2.47.2-x86* 0596761024823ff3c21f13e1cd5cd3e89dccc698294d62974d8930aeda86ce45 /usr/share/wine/gecko/wine-gecko-2.47.2-x86_64.msi e520ce7336cd420cd09c91337d87e74bb420300fd5cbc6f724c1802766b6a61d /usr/share/wine/gecko/wine-gecko-2.47.2-x86.msi
Formally these packages would be automatically installed - on the creation of a clean WINEPREFIX. As I indicated in my successful log (see above) - for Wine commit 6cf0e7fe85ba2f9348cec4d4d555c5dac42033de.
This functionality has stopped working - as of Wine commit 5b362f07f67db5f90ac355c62a1f3d73658c4346.
I'll take a look at the code changes properly, as soon as I get a chance!

--- Comment #5 from Jacek Caban jacek@codeweavers.com --- Gentoo doesn't support shared installs, it only ships MSI files (as opposed to an extracted copy of Wine Gecko that can be used without installing anything inside prefix). See https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko for more details.
Using MSI files is sub-optimal, but fine. Wine will locate it and quietly install when you will attempt to use it. To verify that, you may just run wine iexplore. If it works, it means that Gecko works fine. After the first run, Gecko will be installed in the prefix.

I see that running:
wine iexplore
does automatically install wine-gecko ...
Thanks for clarifying this functionality! I think you can close this bug report as INVALID.
