[Bug 37607] New: MyHeritage Family Tree Builder fails to add "window" item/initialize scripting engine

Bug ID: 37607
           Summary: MyHeritage Family Tree Builder fails to add "window"
                    item/initialize scripting engine
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.31
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: jscript
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

(Originally reported here:
https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/issues/187)

After starting the main application first login with your account. Registration
is free, but required unfortunately. Register via the website to workaround an
issue with the application registration form - make sure that no '+' signs are
in your email address, registration works, but login not...

Create a new project, create a new family, and click on Reports -> Ancestors.

A few message boxes will show up with content

'Unable to add "window" item'
'Unable to initialize scripting engine'

These message boxes repeat a couple of times, and afterwards an empty report
shows up.

Related terminal output with WINEDEBUG=+jscript:

003f:trace:msgbox:MSGBOX_OnInit L"Unable to initialize scripting engine"
--- snip ---

JScript_AddNamedItem fails because This->ctx == NULL.

Installing native 'jscript' via 'winetricks jscript' works around this issue
and the report shows up properly (wasn't able to compare it with Windows, but
definitely looks better than before).

The problem with generating the ancestors report is still present in 1.9.24 and
the current version of the app (family_tree_builder_8333.exe).

I'm not sure what the "issue with the application registration form" was, but I
didn't have any problems registering through the app itself.

This seems to work fine for me with wine-9.9. I tested with alldlls=builtin and
winver set to win7. I used version 7138.

I had to create a new account, which fails because it can't connect to its
server. You can try again and eventually continue the trial even though server
connection failed.

Sebastian or Rosanne, could you confirm?

Adding stable download.
