The program steamwebhelper.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to
close

This can be caused by a problem or a deficiency in Wine.

I tried to open Steam using Wine. This is all that it said. It won't let me log
in.

I created an account today. This site wouldn't let me log back in. Someone
asked me if I was using Windows 7. I was not. But I have changed Wine to
Windows 7 now. I am running it on Linux Mint Cinnamon.

--- Comment #1 from Sebastian Lackner  ---
Your version of wine is terribly outdated (about two years old), please update
to a more recent version and try again.

Also make sure to pay attention to the hints at appdb, some parts of Steam
might need the Arial font (included in corefonts package) for example. Please
note that the store page currently does not work without applying patches or
using experimental/patched Wine versions.

Change it back to XP. Nikolay asked that because steamwebhelper is known to
crash when the Windows version is set to 7 (bug 38960). And as Sebastian told
you, upgrade Wine to 1.8 or later. 1.6.2 is no longer supported.

Shouldnt this bug be closed? We shouldnt have any reason to believe that this
is some steam bug that havent been found yet. Also the bugs should be opened
against development version so the new features, regression and bug fixes would
end up in next stable version.
