The application uses different ways to determine the 'Local Application Data' base path. It asks the OS using win32 API and also makes hard-coded assumptions that rely on Windows Vista+ user shell folder layout.

--- snip --- $ grep -ral '\AppData\Local' .wine/drive_c .wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Amazon/Kindle/CrashReporter.exe .wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Amazon/Kindle/Kindle.exe --- snip ---

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-vi...)

--- quote --- The 'AppData\Local' folder in Windows Vista is the same as the 'Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data' folder in Windows XP. --- quote ---

-------------------------------------------------------------------- | Windows Vista Profile Location | Windows XP Profile Location | -------------------------------------------------------------------| | Users\username | Documents and Settings\username | | AppData\Local | Local Settings\Application Data | --------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows maintains backwards compatibility by using junctions in appropriate places. For example 'Documents and Settings' is a junction to 'c:\users\'. '%USERPROFILE%/Local Settings" is a junction to 'AppData\Local' and so on ...

Wine uses a mixture of Windows XP style layout and Vista+. Due to missing junctions it lacks certain (sub)folder as well.

Kindle app has some code paths that recursively create the missing sub-folder structure. It uses 'boost::filesystem::create_directories' and subsequently 'boost::filesystem::create_directory'.

Before the crash, Kindle tried to create a Vista+ style 'C:\users\focht\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle\crashdump' path that obviously doesn't exist. Earlier, the app code operated on Windows XP shell user folder layout because of Wine's implementation/registry settings. The app code makes the assumption that the directory structure already exists up to the level before 'crashdump' directory hence only used 'boost::filesystem::create_directory' which fails if parent path elements are not present.

'Local AppData' -> '%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data'

Vista+ 'AppData\Local' is not present (because Wine doesn't use junctions). There are more inconsistencies/mixups though.

With some quick hacks locally applied to fix most required things, Amazon Kindle for PC starts successfully from the install part (and manually later).

A quick search in Bugzilla reveals there are more issues reported which are about the same underlying problem. Will merge as needed.

Well, that's mentioned and explained in my comment #7. I guess people don't like reading a wall of text.

--- Comment #11 from Ori Avtalion ori@avtalion.name --- I missed it in your report. I only noticed "some quick hacks locally applied to fix most required things".

I've updated AppDB, noting the latest 1.30 works fine with the workaround.

The previous popular version, 1.16, that works without modification and is installed by winetricks, no longer functions after Amazon disabled its ability to communicate with its servers.
