Summary: for some apps wine update forces reinstalls Product: Wine Version: 1.1.3 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl
It applies not for all applications. It is not only the problem with current version of Wine, because it happened before.
Take for example Great PWN Dictionary -- you install wine, you install this app, everything works fine. But when you update wine something is changed in that way that this app is corrupted and it (not wine) says the installation was not successful, reinstall is required. After reinstall everything is fine again until... next wine update. And so on.
I know there is not much details here, please ask what should I add, I will help for sure.

From which version of Wine did you upgrade that has this problem?

--- Comment #2 from Maciej Pilichowski bluedzins@wp.pl 2008-09-02 03:54:00 --- It was something like 0.99rc?
It may be related to the way wine handles the registry, because it also happens when I install additional software, like for example MS Office.

--- Comment #5 from Maciej Pilichowski bluedzins@wp.pl 2008-09-03 07:21:00 --- Version 1.1.3 is > 1.0 and the problem persists -- as I said, even installing new app will change something in wine environment and PWN Dictionary will not work. I can wait of course till next release and check the wine update.

Version 1.1.3 is > 1.0 and the problem persists -- as I said, even installing new app will change something in wine environment and PWN Dictionary will not work.
If the problem persists after upgrading an >= 1.0 install - that's a bug.
I can wait of course till next release and check the wine update.
Feel free to reopen this bug after retesting.

--- Comment #7 from Maciej Pilichowski bluedzins@wp.pl 2008-12-13 07:35:51 --- So, unfortunately -- reopening.
The Great PWN-Oxford English-Polish Dictionary with wine 1.1.3. After upgrading wine to 1.1.10 -- this app rejects starting stating it was incorrectly installed ("cannot find data, install program again").
Just for the record -- this app is really pain, almost after each new app installed additionally, it has to be reinstalled again too.
But anyway, wine upgrade should be transparent at app level, right?
