                    L"unix\home\tod\", starting in the Windows
                    directory.

new mono failing to install

After upgrading to staging 4.20 I'm using a new message I can't understand:

wine: could not open working directory L"unix\home\tod\", starting in the
Windows directory.

I can't reproduce it on a clean prefix though, such as:
WINEPREFIX=/home/tod/Downloads/test WINEDLLOVERRIDES='winemenubuilder.exe=d'
winecfg

Could this be because my current prefix is not updating mono automatically, and
in fact can't run the new mono installer at all? See the attachment for output
on 'wine start wine-mono-4.9.4.msi'.

Sorry if they're separate bugs.

The message pops up quite a lot on a new 32-bit prefix when winetricks is
running 'wine regsvr32 /S foo'.

Sorry for the noise. I think the staging 4.20 introduces some incompatibility
with 'winetricks sandbox':
Executing wine regedit /S /D
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\Namespace{9D20AAE8-0625-44B0-9CA7-71889C2254D9}
wine: could not open working directory L"unix\home\tod\", starting in the
Windows directory.

I'll ask about it on the winetricks github.

> Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.

wine msiexec /i wine-mono-4.9.4.msi
but it should be installing it for you.
> 'winetricks sandbox'
> I can't reproduce it on a clean prefix though

I'll let someone else decided the validity of this.

Upon further testing, this actually started in 4.19, not 4.20.

I attached what 'wine sandbox' actually does, in case this is valid.

Currently the staging patches apply to Wine git but the build ends up broken
with kernelbase errors with WINEARCH=win32 so I can't investigate further at
the moment.

Indeed, my prefix is back in working order with wine-4.20-321-gec9eddf86b
(Staging). Thanks!
