[Bug 25693] New: Opening wine configuration tool for the first time brings up an error window - winemenubuilder

Summary: Opening wine configuration tool for the first time
                    brings up an error window - winemenubuilder
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.10
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Running the "Configure Wine" utility brought up an error message window
"winemenubuilder.exe has encountered an error...".

This happened after a clean install of Wine-1.3.10 in ubuntu 10.04 from the
ppa.

No windows applications were installed - I just went to
Applications>Wine>Configure Wine to see what the defaults were and the Error
window popped up.  After a while the configuration window appeared and seems to
be ok.  I closed the config and error windows and tried it again.  No error
message this time, the config window came up ok.

This looks like a first run issue.  Perhaps the config window code expects at
least one windows app to have been installed?

This gives a bad impression of wine to a new user.

Works fine here. This was running winecfg?

I assume so.  I ran it from the gui menu as I described - I don't know what
command the icon called.
In an effort to recreate this I completely removed wine using Synaptic, removed
teh .wine dir and the application menu entries.  After reinstalling wine I no
longer have the application menu entries.  DOH!

Oh well, I ran winecfg from the command line and no errors this time.

<code>
$winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/victor/.wine'
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0xa80e914, overlapped 0xa80e918): stub
wine: configuration in '/home/victor/.wine' has been updated.
</code>

Seems like the issue has been fixed in one of the updates.

Thanks.
