fixme's aren't an error... was there an error dialog or something, too?

Of course. Yes, it pops up an error dialog with the "Couldn't get the string
value.." dialog. A simple ok dismisses it, but of course, that shouldn't
happen.

Disabling gameux works around it and avoids the extra dialog.

The same fixmes are displayed after CIV4 installation but without any error.

Star Trek Online's installer also puts up an 
"Unable to register with games exporer"
dialog.

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days.

Is this still an issue in wine version 1.6-rc4 or higher or is this to be
closed as abandoned ?

gameux hasn't had any functional changes in a while, so yeah, it is still
present.

Austin, could you attach +gameux,+tid log? Let's figure out at what point it
fails at least.
