--- Comment #1 from [e-mail] ---
This is due to a missing registry key. Running `wine reg add
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient" /v MachineId /t REG_SZ` and then launching
the app fixes the issue. This key is mentioned here -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-sqmcs2/0442....
I don't know if wine should populate this key; it seems to be expected to exist
in Windows.
