[Bug 30315] New: Program fails to start - Unhandled exception for The Clue by Neo (Freeware)

Bug #: 30315
           Summary: Program fails to start - Unhandled exception for The
                    Clue by Neo (Freeware)
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

"The Clue" by Neo software using Wine 1.4 on Linux Ubuntu 10.10.

The game fails to start and Wine sends up an error stating that a serious
problem has occurred. Details of the unhandled exception are in the backlog
(attached).

Wine gives no indication that the game is loading but almost immediately flags
up the error. Tinkering with Wine's configuration settings seem to give no
affect and still 'The Clue' is unable to run.

'The Clue' is a classic game that was re-released as freeware in 2001. It may
be that it is too old to be ran under modern conditions? Which would be a
shame.

As it's freeware is there any legal download available?

Please, attach the crash log.

It's failing in winemenubuilder, looks like a crash in libpng.

Try:
$ WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winemenubuilder=d wine clue.exe

The Clue works fine in 1.5.1

James, can you retest with a newer Wine version?

Hello folks,

dupe of bug 19241

Some executables contain high-res Windows Vista+ 256x256 PNG compressed icon
resources which 'winemenubuilder' can't handle.

Regards
