           Summary: N1MM PLUS Logger crashes on launch.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.33
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

  --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=50325
The crash report.

When launching N1MM Plus I receive a fatal error. (see attached)

This is a NEW version of the N1MM logging software which was recently ported
from COM to .NET.

This is a logging application used by Amateur Radio operators to log their
radio contacts, particularly for contests.

This app uses .net framework 4.0.  Works fine in windows 7.

You can work around by using following command in application install
directory:

--- snip ---
$ pwd
/home/focht/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/N1MM Logger+

$ wine regsvr32 *.ocx
--- snip ---

NOTE: This is just a workaround to allow the app to instantiate the needed
ActiveX controls/COM servers by using registry lookup instead of activation
context.

--- Comment #3 from Nikolay Sivov  ---
Seems to be a cascade of problems with parsing this manifest:

1) xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" in assembly element is not
supported;
2) 'description' element failed to parse (I removed it for test purposes);
3) dependency Microsoft.Windows.CommonLanguageRuntime is not found which
results
   in context generation failure with STATUS_SXS_CANT_GEN_ACTCTX.

Patching 1) is trivial, I'm looking at 2) currently. Focht, could you help
debugging issue 3) when you got time?

P.S. if I make failure to find dependency non-fatal application starts just
fine.

I couldn't find any documentation how the OS loader handles this but my gut
feeling is that .NET/CLR related runtime dependencies ('ClickOnce' manifests)
are not supposed to be verified here. It's done by .NET CLR bootstrapper
itself.

How about ignoring/skipping .NET related dependencies, that is
'dependentAssembly' with 'dependencyType' and/or 'allowDelayedBinding' set
(these are .NET attributes).

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9a30dzbz.aspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k26e96zf.aspx

Relying on 'processorArchitecture="msil"' in 'assemblyIdentity' is not safe
enough since the CLR "meta" dependency just has name and version.

--- Comment #6 from Nikolay Sivov  ---
I did some testing on Win8.1 VM and it turns out 'allowDelayedBinding' is what
triggers that. When set to true dependency are not checked, but setting it to
false make context creation fail.

A testbot run shows that this attribute is not supported on older systems and
context fails to create regardless of attribute value. I'll have to test more
but now the question is mostly does this application version run on WinXP at
all or not. Probably Nelson knows that.

Gentlemen,
Today I installed the N1MM Logger+ on a Windows XP box. Seems to execute just
fine.

Thanks to everyone who is assisting to resolve the issues and get it working
under WINE without the need for 'workarounds'.
