           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.41
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Image showing the problem

Steps to reproduce:
1) install The Sims3
2) start Sims3Launcher.exe
3) Sims3Launcher.exe looks like in upper image in attachment.
2) close Sims3Launcher.exe
5) start Sims3Launcher.exe
6) Sims3Launcher.exe looks like in lower image in attachment.

Behaviour:
Sims3Lanucher.exe looks like in lower image
Expected behaviour:
Sims3Lanucher.exe should look like in upper image

An workaround is to change "FirstRun"=dword:00000000 to
"FirstRun"=dword:00000001
in user.reg under [Software\Electronic Arts\Sims 3\Launcher\Settings]
before every start of Sims3Launcher.exe

Additional info:
I'm using wine-1.1.41-72-ge9be1b4 on Fedora 12 32 bit.

Still see it, even with beta gecko.

(And with beta gecko, once I saw
###!!! ABORT: Main-thread-only object used off the main thread: file
/build/wine-mozilla-1.2.0-beta1/xpcom/base/nsCycleCollector.cpp, line 1195
on exit.  This was with dotnet20.
Plus, on first run, if you click on "Get Adobe Flash", it takes you there,
but it doesn't list any operating systems under the "select operating system"
pulldown.)

Please attach tid,shdocvw,mshtml,urlmon logs.

Dan, does that assert happen during closing the game or in a middle of running?

Also it may be a good idea to manually install Flash (it's hard to say if
ActiveX or NPAPI version of flash would be better choice so installing both may
be better option).

Created an attachment (id=33482)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=33482)
+tid,+shdocvw,+mshtml,+urlmon log of second run, also showing abort on quit

The abort message only happens on exit.

'winetricks flash' doesn't affect the second run problem,
but it does make the flash content sort of show up on first run.

The script on that page is ran with Gecko JavaScript engine (because it a http
page), but it requires features available only in jscript. We need to make that
configurable.

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days. Development recommends
to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the
bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed.

Is this still an issue with 1.7.0 or higher ?

This is a known bug in the native Mac OS X version as well.

It seems some native JScript code is in the html page.

I reported it to EA's tech support forums and they completely ignored it.

Is this still an issue in current (1.7.36 or newer) wine? If so, please attach
terminal output.

I can’t reproduce this in latest versions of wine, the launcher works just
fine.

Wine-Mono still won't load the launcher at all.  (One of the embedded browser
functions is missing, and the bug fix is in "cleanup" stage by the Wine-Mono
developer.)

However with .Net installed, only the (rather useless) homepage panel is
missing it's rendered page.  This is likely due to an incompatibility with
Wine-Gecko MSHTML emulation.

All other functions work fine when .Net is installed (other than a little
instability here and there.)

This means the issue is likely isolated to Wine-Mono.
