[Bug 24476] New: CONFLICT BETWEEN WINE AND VLC - Can't have both installed !

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24476

Summary: CONFLICT BETWEEN WINE AND VLC - Can't have both
                    installed !
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Conflict between WINE V1.01 and VLC (version 0.9.4 Grishenko).

These are the versions which apt-get installs for my version of UbuntuEEE.

Depending on the order of installation, the problems which occur can vary:

a. Inability of Browse C: drive in WINE

b. WINE (i.e., EXE files) that have been installed using winecfg do not show uo
in the drop down submenu from Applications, WINE drop-down menu (using GNOME
desktop).

c. The worst case: clicking on Browse C: drive gets interpreted as a VLC
Playlist, whereupon VLC goes completely haywire, trying to "play" various DLLs
and such.

I have concluded that I cannot have WINE if I want VLC on this machine (ASUS
EEE).

Help !

I fail to see how this is an issue with Wine itself rather than a packaging
issue with your distribution.

Wine doesn't provide a "Browse C: drive", and it sounds like something the
Ubuntu package of Wine provides.

I can't particularly comment on this, but note that the latest stable version
of Wine is 1.2 and the latest development version is 1.3.3.

Again, it sounds like an issue outside of the scope of Wine, and it should be
reported to your distribution.
