wine error on install

Hi,

I cannot seem to install windowscodecs using winetricks on archlinux (x86_64,
wine 1.7.29, latest everything):
rm -rf ~/.wine && WINEARCH=win32 winetricks windowscodecs
even on a clean 32 bits bottle, see attached log.

I thought it was the exec filesystem flag error, but it was not set besides
"winetricks dotnet20" succeeds.

I also found this report:
https://code.google.com/p/winetricks/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num...

But it's not a winetricks bug: I try manually I've got the same error:
taskset -c 0 wine wic_x86_enu.exe /passive
...
Note: command 'taskset -c 0 wine wic_x86_enu.exe /passive' returned status 67. 
Aborting.

my /home is already mounted with exec flag:  defaults=(rw, suid, dev, exec,
auto, nouser, and async)
# UUID=01e0968c-6ebb-4ad0-8956-cb4257465b2a       
/dev/sda9               /home           ext4            defaults,discard   0 2

Hello,

how about providing the settings of *all* mount points instead of making
assumptions that '/home' is responsible for this?

--- snip ---
fixme:advapi:DecryptFileA ("d:\1182da21f89548f733c6\", 00000000): stub
--- snip ---

Now shall we guess where 'd:' is mounted to and the actual flags?

--- snip --
$ ll ~/.wine/dosdevices/d*
--- snip --

You have 'd:' as writable, no-exec drive mapped in between 'c:' and 'z:'.
The installer uses the first writable drive letter being of 'harddisk' type
with enough space *after* drive 'c:' to place intermediate files.
This includes mapping of temporary dlls which requires 'exec' permissions.
Yes, it's the way the installer works, it has nothing to do with Wine.

You need to fix your setup (bug invalid).

Regards

you're right d: was mounted to an external drive mounted as noexec, the bug is
invalid, but why ? windowscodecs should be installed to c:

Hello xantares,

Please read what I wrote earlier:

--- quote ---
The installer uses the first writable drive letter being of 'harddisk' type
with enough space *after* drive 'c:' to place intermediate files.
This includes mapping of temporary dlls which requires 'exec' permissions.
--- quote ---

Intermediate/temporary installation files are not final installation targets -
they can be located anywhere during installation.
The main dlls end up in your 'c:\windows\system32' folder, where they belong.
