[Bug 35298] New: builtin Iexplore fails to render pages when dbghelp is disabled.

Bug ID: 35298
           Summary: builtin Iexplore fails to render pages when dbghelp is
                    disabled.
           Product: Wine-gecko
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gecko-unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

wine 1.7.9 + winegecko 2.24.

When dbghelp is disabled, iexplore.exe shows the following.

err:module:import_dll Library dbghelp.dll (which is needed by
L"C:\windows\syswow64\gecko\2.24\wine_gecko\xul.dll") not found
fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
err:module:import_dll Library dbghelp.dll (which is needed by
L"C:\windows\system32\mscoree.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library dbghelp.dll (which is needed by
L"C:\windows\syswow64\gecko\2.24\wine_gecko\xul.dll") not found
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.

As the log says, HTML rendering is disabled. This can hardly be intentional,
imo.

Thank you.

Why would you disable dbghelp? Why do you expect this to work?

I don't use iexplore in a wineprefix where dbghelp is disabled. This bug is
opened because it might be relevant to another bug #35291.

bug #35291 is about Hearthstone, which depends on Battle.net to work, which
requires dbghelp disabled.

At the forum (http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2063), oiaohm asked
me to do a test: test winegecko with dbghelp disabled. (I don't really
understand why though.) And he seems to think that winegecko doesn't work is
related to bug #35291.

Anyway, if it turns out that this has nothing to do with bug #35291, just mark
this bug with lowest priority.

Thanks.

If you have dbghelp.dll disabled for Hearthstone, and it tries to embed IE in
its process, then that won't work (as you've observed, it requires dbghelp).
But the real bug that needs to be fixed is the requirement that dbghelp be
disabled (bug 33947).

I don't think there's likely a connection to bug 35291. I'm not very familiar
with this issue, and bug 33947 is unfortunately a bit hard to follow, but it
seems to imply that one can work around the bug by applying a patch instead of
disabling dbghelp. If the patch also works around bug 35291, then what you've
seen could be relevant there. Either way, it would be useful to have that
information on bug 35291.

And in either case, this bug is invalid. It's expected that disabling dll's can
break builtin Wine components, and the strange part is that disabling dbghelp
somehow makes Hearthstone work better.
