Bug ID: 37562 Summary: Skype opens apps.skype.com on every start Product: Wine Version: 1.7.31 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: t.artem@mailcity.com Distribution: Red Hat
Most likely there's something missing in Wine so Skype cannot change the state of "apps.skype.com has already been shown".
P.S. Make sure you deleted login.cab before trying to debug this issue (proper HTML support is not yet there, see bug 28457).
Skype version: 6.21.32.104

--- Comment #1 from Artem S. Tashkinov t.artem@mailcity.com --- Wine developers who object to any program modifications can avoid deleting this file by running Skype with an undocumented /legacylogin switch.

--- Comment #2 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
according to http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-is-opening-a-Brow...
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-archive/The-New-Banner-Ad-s-Above-Peop...
https://apps.skype.com/chatadwidget/ has the purpose to annoy the user with ads in the chat window.
Garbage from that site is supposed to be embedded every time unless one takes further action (buying credit, using old Skype version or simply hack it).
The external browser opening is the result of Wine's 'urlmon' handling when the client returns 'INET_E_DEFAULT_ACTION' during protocol binding.

'BindProtocol_StartEx' calls client's 'IInternetProtocol::Start'
The client returns 0x800c0011 -> 'INET_E_DEFAULT_ACTION' (expected) which Wine handles differently than native 'urlmon'. It stops binding and defers further action to default registry protocol association which in turns creates an own browser process (or reuses existing native browser).
Likely the same issue as bug 24285 or other bugs with applications that make use of embedded browser control but get external browser processes via default registry assoc handler.
'winetricks -q ie8' works around but only 'urlmon' and its link dependencies are really needed here.

Yeah... Not sure that anyone would really like it to be fixed (except Microsoft), but let's try anyway...

--- Comment #5 from Rudolf-Walter Kiss-Szakacs rudolf.wg@gmail.com --- A possible workaround that reduces the annoyance factor until this is fixed is to set the wine browser to a no-op. This will obviously also prevent you from opening links in Skype (you'll have to copy-paste links to your browser). It will also prevent opening links from any other app in the same wine prefix.
Steps: * Open the wine regedit * Create key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineBrowser" * In it, create the string "Browsers" with a value of "true" (your no-op command) * Append " "%1"" to the value in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command"
