Bug ID: 53755
           Summary: Missing setx.exe
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.17
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

The Wwise installer tries to invoke setx.exe to configure a persistent
environment variable. The installer fails with the error message:

Installation failed. Error installing prerequisites: "Error: Can't set
enviromnent variables: Command failed: %windir%/system32/setx "WWISEROOT"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2021.1.0.7575" Can't recognize
'C:\windows/system32/setx "WWISEROOT" "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2021.1.0.7575"' as an internal or external command, or
batch script. "

setx.exe seems to be a standard utility for configuring environment variables
to be set by default.

Confirming.

The program in the download link installs fine but it appears to be a front-end
for the actual program. If you go into Samples -> Samples it will say "First,
install Wwise on your system.". Clicking the install button and following the
steps causes the bug to occur.

In the future, please add steps to reproduce the problem.

The program installs successfully with a stubbed setx program.
