[Bug 31232] New: The Way Things Work 2.0 installer froze after finished copying files

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31232

Bug #: 31232
           Summary: The Way Things Work 2.0 installer froze after finished
                    copying files
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.21
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Regression SHA1: 54d7c8012d1d7369a56779955ced5a09e448a1cd

When started The Way Things Work 2.0 installer (setup.exe),
the setup proceeds normally, through the welcome screen,
quicktime installer prompt (though QuickTime 16bit 2.1.1 installation didn't
work [bug #18260]),
installation options (express/custom), files copying progress window.

But as soon as the file copying window disappeared, the installer froze, no
screen repainting, no message from WINE's console.
(Normally this stage should be creating program groups and ends at the 'Setup
Complete' window)

54d7c8012d1d7369a56779955ced5a09e448a1cd is first bad commit
commit 54d7c8012d1d7369a56779955ced5a09e448a1cd

05513d15b76a99fe5033c4422a82008667425088 M    programs

With WINE before this commit, the installation would continue, with WINE's
Program Manager (progman)
popped up with a dialog from the setup program: "Unable to start DDE
communication with Program Manager." [Abort/Retry/Ignore]
If clicked 'Ignore' (aka. continue despite the error), this step will be
repeated for another five time, each time leaving one Program Manager window
opened (6 window total at the end).
And finished with 'Setup Complete' window.

Note:
The Way Things Work is a 16-bit application, and supports Windows 3.1.
Tested using WINE's Windows version 98.

WINE: wine-1.1.21 source distribution
System: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" i386 (Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz)

This is not a regression, Progman DDE interface implementation is incomplete.

Still present in WINE 1.5.6

Timestamped WINE 1.5.6 +relay,+tid,+seh log of setup.exe,
using WINE's Windows version 98.
(timestamp format "HH:mm:ss.hhh message", to remove timestamp use
"cut -d ' ' -f 2-")

Timeline:
13:51:02.0 Started "wine setup.exe"
13:51:21.4 Installer finished copying files, and the installer froze.
13:51:35.1 Killed winevdm ("killall winevdm.exe") to exit.

I saw references to 'progman' both around the setup's start and the freeze,
but didn't sure what they mean, so I uploaded the whole log file.

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for two
years. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.25 or newer) wine?

Still reproducible on WINE 1.7.25.

WINE 1.7.25 +relay,+tid,+seh log of setup.exe (run from the CD),
using WINE's Windows version 98 with 640x480 virtual desktop mode,
CD mounted as D under WINE:

Note: I stopped the installer by pressing Ctrl+C at the console.

I cannot really timestamp it this time. (If I did, it took more
than 10 minutes just to start the installer, and at 10 min, log was
already 2 GiB for an unknown reason)

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a
year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.51 or newer) wine?

Description mentions problem starting DDE communication with progman. This
sounds similar problem which has been seen on bug-10349.

Tests was performed with Wine 10.15 Ubuntu Mate 22.04 running on VMware.
For the test i created new 32bit prefix.

During early stages of setup process setup application 
opened message box with following information:

Title: Severe.
Message: Your computer is not compatible with 256 colors.
Please update your display driver or call DK support.

I tried to use dxwnd, but end result was the same.

I found settings to DXWnd which works for TWTW2 setup.
DXWnd version used: 2.06.11

Settings:
Options->Extended mode
Tools->Desktop->Color Depth->8BPP

Add application:
Edit->Add
Path=<location of setup.exe>
OK

Eventually there is question about running it through otvdm.
No is the way to go, answering yes will cause crash when setup is executed.

TWTW2 test was preformed with Wine 10.15 and 10.16

Wine 10.15:
Color depth change on DXWnd causes error.
Seems that function NtUserChangeDisplaySettings fails, below line shown on
console.
0024:err:system:NtUserChangeDisplaySettings Changing (null) display settings
returned -2.
This might be because 10.15 is built by me and without vulkan support.

Wine 10.16:
Setup went to end without errors from setup application. 
There was message about injection signal not being received.
