Bug ID: 55178
           Summary: iLOK/PACE license manager installer needs pnputil.exe
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.11
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

I am attempting to install the iLok/Pace license manager on wine 8.11, running
Kubuntu Linux 22.04.

I've attempted to install the latest license manager ( version 5.8.0 available:
https://www.ilok.com/#!license-manager ) - which runs into an error "ERROR:
pnputil.exe failed to add/install the iLok driver package, error=-1073741515"
about halfway through the installation, which eventually fails completely.

Installing an older version of the license manager ( version 5.6.1 ) runs into
the same pnputil error, but this does not stop the installer from completing.
However, other software that is dependent on the iLok drivers does not work
properly ( for example, UA Connect from Universal Audio:
https://www.uaudio.com/downloads/ua-connect/ ).

Additionally, when attempting to uninstall iLok/PACE I receive the error:
"ERROR: --install package's .inf file path does not exist: C:\Program Files
(x86)\Common Files\PACE\iLokDriverPackages\EV\iLokDrvr64.inf"

It seems like pnputil.exe is not present at all on wine, and is needed in order
to support this installer? This is way beyond my expertise and I wish I could
help debug further.

My thanks for all your great work wine, team.

A stub program allows it to install without errors.

wine 8.18-staging works 50%,

plugin licenses that have PC license method work,
but plguins that only have USB license method does Not work.

Wine does Not do USB passthrough like a VM, 
there is a broken link between ilok app, and ilok usb drive.

similar happened with Focusrite USB Control Software, people had to make a
complete ALSA version for Linux, because the USB broken link between Wine usb
and Linux usb.

8.18-staging has another problem,
Carla VST plugins do Not work anymore when loaded with Wine 8.18,
but work ok with Wine 8.0.2-stable.

a regression was introduced in Wine.
