Wine output

When attempting to run Media Player Classic for 2k/XP, version 6.4.9.0, the
startup fails with a null-pointer reference before displaying any windows.

I'm running Gentoo Linux, with kernel 2.6.23.8 if that makes a difference.

A few lines of output before the crash:

err:ole:create_server class {62be5d10-60eb-11d0-bd3b-00a0c911ce86} not

Starts up just fine here. Can you try with a clean .wine directory?

No luck, still the same result.

The output differs just slightly; these lines have disappeared:
  fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly
  L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"

And of course the usual "creating configuration directory
'/home/marti/.wine'..." messages appeared.

Either you are using an old prefix, or an old version wine. This fixme was
fixed a few releases back.

Not according to grep, anyway.

You supposed to remove / rename ~/.wine directory. Or if you using separate
WINEPREFIX the directory pointed to.

Works fine here as well. Closing works for me.

I did state in comment #2 that this particular line disappeared when I wiped my
~/.wine, and yet the problem did not disappear.

Closing bugs with WORKSFORME when it obviously doesn't work for the user only
serves to frustrate users; thanks for nothing.

How did you compile Wine on 64-bit Gentoo? Can you run other programs on Wine?
i.e. does:

wine notepad

work for you?

Again, this works for me on several different machines running different
distros, and it works for Vitaliy as well.

Crashes here as well. This is in ubuntu gutsy 32-bit, wine 0.9.52 (using
winehq's deb's) running in a virtual machine.

I'll try from git in a few minutes, it's compiling now.

I'm using the Gentoo ebuild with flags USE="X alsa dbus gecko hal jpeg lcms
ncurses opengl samba xml -cups -esd -jack -ldap -nas -oss -scanner"

Here's the configure line built by the ebuild:

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib32 --sysconfdir=/etc/wine
--with-curses --with-opengl --with-x

I'm using GCC 4.1.2, glibc 2.6; what else would be relevant?
> Can you run other programs on Wine?

Yeah, other programs (including Notepad and a couple of apps that I use
regularly) work without any apparent problems.

I see it on 32-but Ubuntu Feisty in VMWare with the budgetdedicated 0.9.52 deb
package as well. It worked when I ran with +relay though.

Works fine in current git for me.
Works fine in winehq's wine-0.9.52 if +relay is used.
Works fine in wine-0.9.52 compiled from git.

Somehow Scott's package is messed up. Adding him to cc.

Still works fine here, and haven't heard anything in a while. Marking invalid.
