Is anyone still seeing this with recent wine / winetricks?

This, issue 90, and issue 189 may all be related.

I suspect there may be more...but yeah. I'm slowly going through all open
bugs.

Saw it again today. Tried installing nfsworld on a 64 bit system.
This failed when it tried to install .net, so I tried setting WINEARCH
and rerunning:

------------------------------------------------------
Note: command 'wine dotnetfx.exe /q /c:install.exe /q' returned status 26.
Aborting.
------------------------------------------------------

dank@i7:~/winetricks/src$ rm -rf $WINEPREFIX
dank@i7:~/winetricks/src$ export WINEARCH=win32
dank@i7:~/winetricks/src$ sh winetricks -q nfsworld
------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string

I'm getting this error.

machine:~ me$ WINEPREFIX=steam winetricks vcrun6

------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
------------------------------------------------------

machine:~ me$ winetricks --version
20130707
machine:~ me$ wine --version
wine-1.7.12

That wine prefix was indeed created by an earlier version of wine, 1.6.2. I
switched from MacPorts port wine to wine-devel to try to get something
working in another wine prefix.

Am I to understand that I'd be expected to reinstall steam (and all the
games installed within it) whenever wine had been updated and I wanted to
run winetricks on that prefix again for whatever reason?

Oh, FYI, I don't see any zombie wine processes.

$WINEPREFIX must be an absolute path.

Yes, but according to the winetricks help:
Usage: /usr/bin/winetricks [options] [command|verb|path-to-verb] ...
Executes given verbs. Each verb installs an application or changes a
setting.
...
Commands:
...
prefix=foobar select
WINEPREFIX=/home/richard/.local/share/wineprefixes/foobar

So shouldn't:
winetricks prefix=WinXP-32bit ie8
check in '/home/richard/.local/share/wineprefixes/WinXP-32bit'

instead of '/home/richard/.wine' ? (which it does)

It's hard to say. It's valid-ish for winetricks to reference $WINEPREFIX
at startup.

r1182 added a better error message in this case, can you try winetricks
from svn
and tell us what the new error message is?

I checked with WINETRICKS_VERSION=20140415 and it is the same as before:
$ winetricks prefix=WinXP-32bit ie8
------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned unexpanded
string '%ProgramFiles%' ... can be caused a corrupt wineprefix, an old
wine, or by not owning /home/richard/.wine

and my WINEPREFIX is
WINEPREFIX=/home/richard/.local/share/wineprefixes/WinXP-32bit .


Too me it looks like winetricks doesn't respect the prefix at all.

What does

cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%'

say?

Still get that issue on ubuntu Trusty i386:
- the default installed winetricks works fine, but wants the latest from
trunck
- i first purge the default oldish package installed from the archive
- then update to r1196 and apply chmod +x
- winetricks fails with that output:

wine-1.7.19
winetricks is /usr/bin/winetricks ; winetricks version is 20140521
+ winetricks_early_wine cmd.exe /c echo %ProgramFiles%

+ cat /tmp/early_wine.err.txt
+ w_die wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string, error
message 'wine: /home/oem/.wine is not owned by you'

hm, these files are owned by root:root ; deleting .cache/winetricks does
not help.
