Bug ID: 52362
           Summary: Powershell Core 7 installer hangs forever on Chinese
                    locale (LC_ALL=zh_Han.UTF-8)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.0-rc3
          Hardware: x86-64
               URL: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/down
                    load/v7.1.5/PowerShell-7.1.5-win-x64.msi
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

Hi, someone i was trying to help someone to get this installed and he reported
this to me (I couldn`t reproduce it), that the installer hung for him, and in
fact he found that it was due to the fact he was running with
LC_ALL=zh_Han.UTF-8

I don`t know anything about these chinese locales, but report anyway as could
be a bug in wine (?).

reproduce: LC_ALL=zh_Han.UTF-8 5ine msiexec /i PowerShell-7.1.5-win-x64.msi

A +relay shows it`s looking for files in directory zh-CN which is not there,
though there is zn-Han(s) directories. But just copying zh-Han to zh-CN didn`t
help either.

Anyway, I guess someone with more knowledge about (Chinese) locales would have
lots more clues than i have...

Edit, it should be LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8

So reproduce: LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 wine msiexec /i PowerShell-7.1.5-win-x64.msi

grrr, sorry for the mess, it should be: LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8

so:

LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 wine msiexec /i PowerShell-7.1.5-win-x64.msi

...if I were to offer (an unasked for) blind guess, I'd say this is likely to
go toward bug 10767 - after all, it's a MS semi-core program that's been likely
tested in pretty much every available locale by now, so it likely be something
that's sort of works in wine, but is still done fundamentally wrong.

That is unless it's something as obscure as not being able to handle existence
of both zh_CN and zh_TW.

See how the order of accessing changes with locale (if you got patience for it,
you can check that relay log for CompareString calls to exclude my guess being
the case).

As far as I understand, Staging has a patch for that bug, but Staging doesn`t
allow the installer to succeed as well :(

If you're referring to the mentioned in the bug, ...well, if (as it seems) it's
still generates the sortkeys based on DUCET, it's likely still getting things
wrong. The way I very vaguely recall it, one of the later Fabian Maurer's
patches generated the keys based on MS data, but I'm not sure if the version in
staging does.

Of course my guess on the reason might simply be wrong, though did you see
those CompareString calls before entering that endless loop ?

AFAICT it seems like it:
0ad8:Call KERNEL32.GetProcAddress(7b600000,6448a205bb6 "CompareStringEx")
ret=00c579e5
.
0ad8:Call KERNEL32.CompareStringEx(016a152c L"",08000001,016b3b1c
L"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",0000001a,016b3b6c L"ABCDEFGHIJ
KLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",0000001a,00000000,00000000,00000000) ret=6448a4c41b8
.

0ad8:Ret  KERNEL32.CompareStringEx() retval=00000002 ret=6448a4c41b8
.
Shortly after begins endless sequence of:

09ac:Call KERNEL32.GetFileAttributesExW(016b63cc L"C:\Program
Files\PowerShell\7\zh-CN\System.Management.Automation.resources.dll",00000000,228eb0d0)
ret=6448a3d61f3
.
09ac:Ret  KERNEL32.GetFileAttributesExW() retval=00000000 ret=6448a3d61f3

and

0ad8:Call KERNEL32.GetFileAttributesExW(017604e4 L"C:\Program
Files\PowerShell\7\zh-CN\Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost.resources.dll",00000000,0019a3b0)
ret=6448a3d61f3
.
09ac:Ret  KERNEL32.GetFileAttributesExW() retval=00000000 ret=6448a3d61f3

I now noticed that those files are not present in directory zn-Hans either,
they reside one directory higher. So I`m rather puzzled as to what causes
this...

...you know, it can be something zh specific after all...

Going by one of the tests for kernel32, zh_CN and zh_Hans are mapped to each
other, but perhaps here we're hitting a portion of the code where the mapping
is incomplete...but if that would be the case why didn't it work when you
copied one dir to the other ?

Somehow this is fixed, maybe by the recent locale related changes/patches (?)

Anyway, resolving fixed
