          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other

Running wine appwis.cpl segfaults:

$ wine appwiz.cpl
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I understand that calling cpl like that may not be a goot idea, bu
segmenatation fault ain't goot answer either ;)

DLLs cannot be executed in that manner, you'll get a crash if you try that on
any DLL. To execute appwiz.cpl from the control panel, use:

$ wine control appwiz.cpl

on windows you can run the control panel applets directly.
may be an entry to wine.inf can fix it.

You're confusing using the "wine" binary to run something directly, and
executing it with a program like the Windows "start" program. If you run:

wine start appwiz.cpl

then you will be able to execute the control panel that way. "wine" itself
tries to interpret the binary as if it were a .exe, which does not work.

This isn't a valid bug, because there's no way to reproduce the behavior of the
wine executable on Windows.  If you run, say applet.cpl from cmd.exe, it works,
but that's because it uses ShellOpen.  If you run it from, Start -> Run,
likewise, it uses ShellOpen.  Finally, if you double-click on the .cpl from
Explorer, again it's calling ShellOpen.  The wine executable is a program
loader, and it assumes that what you're trying to run really is a PE
executable.  We assume you know what you're doing.
