Bug ID: 55162
           Summary: Halo 2: Installer shows empty ie-window
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.8
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

console log, 32bit with ie6 installed, after starting "Startup.exe"

I do not know why the previous bug was closed in 2015
(https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17543), but the same error still
persists today.

When executing "Startup.exe" on the CD in a clean 32-bit (and 64-bit as well)
prefix a blue windows pops up dislaying absolutely nothing presented (see
image).

If I install ie6 (winetricks ie6) an error pops up (see image).

Attached is a stacktrace of what exists in the console after executing
"Startup.exe" from wineconsole with ie6 installed.

I checked. The problem does not occur in a real windows 11 box.
In the window, you can see animations and options.
