[Bug 18308] New: Triggering Help menu in Sibelius 4 does nothing

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18308

Summary: Triggering Help menu in Sibelius 4 does nothing
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.20
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Created an attachment (id=20847)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=20847)
wine output from beginning to end

To enable proper functionality in Sibelius 4, a placeholder DLL file
"gdiplus.dll" must be created and placed in "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/system32/".

This seemed like a great implementation (except for the fact that it required
the placeholder to be created), but I've finally discovered a side effect.

Press F1, or accessing the help dialogue in Sibelius 4 will try to open the
default browser... at least, it's supposed to. However, when triggered, an
error involving gdiplus.dll appears in the console.

I have attached the full console output for your perusal.

Thank you for your time.

How do you create a placeholder DLL file? It looks like you don't do that
correctly.

"touch gdiplus.dll"

How come the component was changed? Seems like a gdiplus problem... :)

That's wrong.

No, that's your problem, placeholder dlls are created as a part of
an initial Wine install, and are listed in wine.inf file.

Then how would you suggest I go about making a placeholder dll for gdiplus?
Without it, the program fails to run properly.

Actually, now that I've set the DLL override to "native, builtin", the program
can run fine without the placeholder DLL. However, the bug detailed still
remains, although now there is no output to the console.

Add it to tools/wine.inf.in,[FakeDllsSection].

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 6
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.33 or newer) wine?

No response in over a year, marking abandoned. If this is still an issue in
current (1.3.9 or newer) wine, and you can provide the needed information, feel
free to reopen.
