           Summary: Evernote 6.6.4.5512 can't create note without native
                    wininet
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.15

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Start Evernote, log in and click "New Note" at the top left. The edit windows
for the note is unusable.

"winetricks -q wininet" fixes the issue.

Side note: Download site seems to only shows the download link when the
useragent tells it that it's running on windows.

Revisiting. Last version I tested with was 6.3.3.3502, adding stable download
link.

Still valid as of wine-6.14.

Hello Fabian,

Unfortunately many of these third-party software mirror services, such as
softpedia.com, uptodown.com, cnet.com etc. can't be considered "stable". They
definitely drop old versions. There are few sites such as oldversion.com,
filehippo.com, filehorse.com which seem keep all old downloads but they don't
mirror all kinds of software. Even then I wouldn't trust them and rather
find/create a snapshot via archive.org

In this case I went as follows, remembering we already have quite a number of
Evernote bugs:

https://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?bug_file_loc=archive.org%20evernote&...

(search all open/closed bugs which contain 'evernote' and 'archive.org' in the
URL field)

One of the results returned the following archive.org URL(s):

https://web.archive.org/web/20200403152332/http://cdn1.evernote.com/win6/pub...

Using that pattern execute CDX API query on archive.org to figure out if the
CDN from the snapshot URL has any matching/similar versions:

$ sha1sum Evernote_6.3.3.3502.exe

$ du -sh Evernote_6.3.3.3502.exe 
98M    Evernote_6.3.3.3502.exe

One starting point would be to closely check the built-in application tracing
'activity log' under 'Help' menu when using builtin vs. native. There might be
also differences when running the app under Windows. Just replacing one
component with native doesn't necessarily mean it works as intended. Sometimes
it goes through a different error handling/recovery path, resulting in "seems
to work".
