Bug ID: 51400
           Summary: failed to launch UI information server
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.12
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: windowscodecs

run log

This may be a regression.

My program ran fine with wine-6.11 (Staging) and I just downloaded wine-6.12
(Staging) and now when I launch it, it fails very early with this message:

failed to launch UI information server

My app is Dragon Naturally Speaking 12.5.

I should mention that the program sometimes throws up miscellaneous error
messages prior to starting, but I have never gotten this message, and the error
messages have never stopped the program from opening.

I run Gentoo.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking comes with its own Net 4.0 framework, so I do not use
Mono.

Does the issue happen with upstream (non-staging) wine?

If possible, could you run a regression test?
See: https://wiki.winehq.org/Regression_Testing

Is there a specific reason you think this is a windowscodecs issue?

Is there a free & legal download this could potentially be reproduced with?

I did research.

Turns out, this bug is a Dragon NaturallySpeaking bug. It is reproducible in
Windows.

It's a registry problem. The software sets the following registry key thusly.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
"EnableLUA" registry key
"Hexadecimal"
"Value Data" "1"

If the "Value Data" is "1" try "0" instead. (That's what I did.)

So I'm marking this as invalid.

It's a bug that occasionally pops up in Dragon Naturally Speaking. See fix.
