[Bug 13844] New: pywin32 cannot be installed

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13844

Summary: pywin32 cannot be installed
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Pywin32-211 cannot be installed - it just eat 100% cpu and never finishes.

Wine ver: c959867510703a100106f292cd26cb8f489236bb (post 1.0-rc4)

Here are the steps how to reproduce it:

$ export WINEPREFIX=`pwd`/bug.pywin32
$ wget -c http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.2/python-2.5.2.msi
$ wget -c http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pywin32/pywin32-211.win32-py2.5.exe
$ wineboot -i
$ msiexec /i python-2.5.2.msi /qb

This initilizes wine instance and installs python into it.

Let's try to install pywin32:

$ wine pywin32-211.win32-py2.5.exe

Oops, it eats 100% cpu and spawns new and new processes (pid of pywin32.exe
changes) and never completes.

On Windows XP pywin32-211.win32-py2.5.exe installs fine.

Thanks beforehand.

Confirming with Wine 1.1.14.  I've seen at least one howto that describes
installing pywin32 (the same version I'm trying to install) on Wine.  I wonder
if the other people who are having problems are on AMD64.  I'll give it a try
on a 32-bit machine and see what happens.

This bug also occurs with Wine 1.0.1 on 32-bit Ubuntu (run in a virtual machine
on 64-bit Ubuntu).

I tried running with WINEDEBUG="wine+all".  Naturally, there was a lot of
repeated output, but I have attached what seems to be all of the unique output.

I tried using winedbg, and the most relevant-looking bit is this:
00000017:00000018: exception code=0x80000003
warning: Target reported unsupported offsets:
Text=00000040;Data=0032fc4c;Bss=b7ecb0e3

I have no idea what that means, though.

The part of the trace corresponding to the actual run of the installer process

After some more in-depth analysis, this part seems to be the actual running of
the program.

Same thing happens with current python 2.6 and its matching pywin32.  
The important bit from your log seems to be

0009:Call KERNEL32.GetModuleHandleA(7c37f0c0 "mscoree.dll") ret=7c348ce0
0009:Ret  KERNEL32.GetModuleHandleA() retval=00000000 ret=7c348ce0
0009:Call KERNEL32.ExitProcess(00000000) ret=7c348d04

It's trying to see if mscoree.dll is already loaded, and if it isn't,
it exits.  
Oddly enough, once when I ran winetricks dotnet20, twisted's installer
immediately popped up its gui from a previous run!  Go figure.

According to http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html,
the pywin32 installer is built using distutils (!).
Sure enough, distutils seems to be able to build both msi
and .exe installers.  So maybe the thing to do is to try
building a distutils installer for "hello, world" and see
if that works.

http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html#a-simple-example
shows how to create a .exe installer for a python app.  It looks
pretty easy.

OK, the mscoree thing is a canard, see
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6880#c7

It turns out that setting win2k mode some time after
the install seemingly exited really does let the install complete!

So the recipe is:

rm -rf ~/.wine
wine msiexec /i python-2.6.2.msi /qb
wine pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.exe
ls ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp/   and notice how it's filling up
with little temp files; each one represents one retry of something
sh winetricks win2k

You could probably set win2k mode beforehand, it's just fun to
watch it work after the fact like that.  The log file in the bad
case shows

1908f:Call KERNEL32.GetPrivateProfileStringA(00408f58 "Setup",00409448
"user_access_control",00408514 "",00410a30,0000000a,00531430

1908f:Ret  KERNEL32.GetPrivateProfileStringA() retval=00000004 ret=004046a5
1908f:Call KERNEL32.GetVersionExA(0033edbc) ret=0040356b
1908f:Ret  KERNEL32.GetVersionExA() retval=00000001 ret=0040356b
1908f:Call KERNEL32.LoadLibraryA(00408594 "shell32.dll") ret=004034b9
1908f:Ret  KERNEL32.LoadLibraryA() retval=7e7f0000 ret=004034b9
1908f:Call KERNEL32.GetProcAddress(7e7f0000,00408f48 "IsUserAnAdmin")

"Software\Python\PythonCore\2.6\InstallPath",00000000,00020019,0033edfc)
ret=00403525
...

but in the good case shows
19099:Call KERNEL32.GetPrivateProfileStringA(00408f58 "Setup",00409448
"user_access_control",00408514 "",00410a30,0000000a,00531430

19099:Ret  KERNEL32.GetPrivateProfileStringA() retval=00000004 ret=004046a5

19099:Ret  KERNEL32.GetVersionExA() retval=00000001 ret=0040356b
19099:Call KERNEL32.GetModuleHandleA(00000000) ret=00402607
19099:Ret  KERNEL32.GetModuleHandleA() retval=00400000 ret=00402607
19099:Call user32.LoadCursorA(00000000,00007f00) ret=00402619
19099:Ret  user32.LoadCursorA() retval=000010de ret=00402619
19099:Call gdi32.CreateSolidBrush(00800000) ret=00402627
19099:Ret  gdi32.CreateSolidBrush() retval=0000030c ret=00402627
19099:Call user32.RegisterClassA(0033de20) ret=0040263f
...

It'd be interesting to see if that also affected a "hello, world" distutils
installer.

Dan, thanks for your analysis.

I've built a hello world .exe installer on Linux from the follwing:

---- 8< (hello) ----
#!/usr/bin/env python

print 'Hello World!'
---- 8< ----

---- 8< (setup.py) ----
from distutils.core import setup

setup(name='hello-bdist_wininst',
      version='1.0',
      scripts=['hello'],
---- 8< ----

With

$ python setup.py bdist_wininst

And no, hello-bdist_wininst-1.0.win32.exe installs without a problem on wine,
both xp and win2k.

I also confirm that pywin installs on wine/2k but has problems on wine/xp.
