Despite not having Russian as language anywhere an my PC, when run under wine
it picks Russian as default language. On my VM it picks the system language
properly.

Just noticed, "winetricks -q ie8" works around the issue. Maybe it's because
the installation doesn't finish properly?

Hello Fabian,

confirming.

I don't know what's wrong with your system but on my machine the installer
works just fine. The reason why 'winetricks -q ie8' works around is because the
recipe changes the Windows version of the WINEPREFIX from default 'Windows 7'
to 'Windows XP'.

To test, set 'Windows XP' and reinstall using 'setup.exe' from launcher
directory. You will get English language setting by default.

One can also force/override locale regardless of Windows version using client
command line interface:

--- snip ---
$ pwd
/home/focht/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Wargaming.net/GameCenter

# English
$ wine ./wgc.exe --setLang -l en

# German
$ wine ./wgc.exe --setLang -l de
--- snip ---

Afterwards 'preferences.xml' has it permanently (no need for 'setLang')

--- snip ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<protocol version="3.9" name="preferences">
    <application>
...
        <localization_manager>
            <current_localization>en</current_localization>
        </localization_manager>
--- snip ---

Hello folks,

finally confirming. Took some time to get down to the root cause.

The incorrect locale is just a late manifestation of Wine's broken
bootstrapping procedure when creating a new WINEPREFIX -> bug 41713

The installer is InnoSetup based. Using the '/LOG' parameter to installer
provides a bit more info.

Analysing the installer script by using following tools:

* innounp, the Inno Setup Unpacker -> http://innounp.sourceforge.net/
* IFPSTools, tools for working with RemObjects PascalScript files (mainly
disassemble PascalScript) -> https://github.com/Wack0/IFPSTools

--- snip ---
$ wine innounp.exe -m -x -d_unpacked
total_war_arena_install_eu_bs39qvgzadby.exe
...
$ php IFPSTools/DisIFPS.php _unpacked/embedded/CompiledCode.bin

This results in a big RemObjects PascalScript disassembly.

The installer tries to start 'wgc' (client) as unelevated process after
finishing installation using the well known "ShellExecuteFromExplorer" method.
Also described here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37948064/how-to-launch-non-elevated-admi...

Tidbit: Even with the method working in general, Wine's 'explorer.exe' always
runs as elevated process which is wrong as well -> bug 39262 ("DiscordSetup.exe
(.NET 4.5.2 app): Squirrell installer requires being run as unelevated process
('explorer.exe' should run unelevated by default with Vista+ setting)").
Fortunately the client here doesn't check this unlike other apps.

You can also see why 'Windows XP' works, it uses different code path ->
'ShellExecuteExW' and not "ShellExecuteFromExplorer" method.

Apparently Explorer local COM server is not working at this point which should
handle client requests for 'ShellWindows' object.

The process hiearchy for illustration, don't mind the non-matching pids:

Since the unelevated start fails, any subsequent manual run of 'wgc.exe' will
*always* result in Russion locale. I've debugged the client - there is no code
path with different result when 'preferences.xml' does not exist. Locale 'Ru'
is hard-coded into the client ('game_center.dll') as default setting for new
config files.

Coming back to the problem with Explorer local COM server ...
When looking for an easier/faster way to reproduce I came up with this nifty
one liner ;-)

--- snip ---
# run against existing WINEPREFIX
# 9ba05972-f6a8-11cf-a442-00a0c90a8f39 -> CLSID_ShellWindows

$ while true ; do wine cmd.exe /c "echo test >
\\.\pipe\{9ba05972-f6a8-11cf-a442-00a0c90a8f39}" ; sleep 1 ; done

0034:fixme:ntdll:server_get_file_info Unsupported info class 14
Invalid function.

0036:fixme:ntdll:server_get_file_info Unsupported info class 14
Invalid function.

...
# kill explorer process/local COM server
...
File not found.
--- snip ---

'Invalid function.' -> ok, named pipe can be opened
'File not found.' -> error, named pipe does not exist

If this is run against a newly created WINEPREFIX it will always fail. Just use
some builtin app to keep it from being shut down.

--- snip ---

One 'explorer' process is started by 'wineboot', the other one by 'rundll32'.
Both fail to create the COM servers because the needed registry data
(proxies/marshalling) doesn't exist at this point. The second instance
terminates after a short time, while the original 'explorer' process still
runs. It pumps messages but it can't serve any COM clients.
