Winetricks: After winetricks ie8 and winetricks ie7, iexplorer.exe exits immediately after launch

[amtlib-dot-dll]

Wine version: wine-core-2.20-1.fc27.i686 on Fedora 27
Winetricks version:

Using winetricks 20171222-next - sha256sum: 01ebb56d22f54467343700eedfe283d82a47e67bbb6c2d68b7da743f41bb78a3 with wine-2.20 (Staging) and WINEARCH=win32

Steps to reproduce:

1. create a new wine prefix
2. run winetricks ie8
3. run wine 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Result:
A window flashes, but disappears immediately, and the process exits.

Thank you very much!

Hi! Do you see any errors logged in the console after running wine 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe? Also, would it be possible to get a detailed winetricks log? For example, run winetricks -v ie8 > out.log 2>&1 and upload the resulting out.log somewhere.

[amtlib-dot-dll]

Also this bug applies to ie7, so I modified the title. The logs of the commands sh winetricks -v ie8 2>&1 | tee out_winetricks.log, sh winetricks -v ie7 2>&1 | tee out_winetricks.log and wine 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe' 2>&1 | tee out_iexplore.log are pasted here. Thank you very much!

I had a look, but I'm not sure what to make of it. I can replicate it on my Ubuntu VM in the sense that it doesn't work, but not sure if it's the same problem, because I never tried to run IE before. There are some err:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackA errors, but those might be a red herring. I'll let somebody else have a look and, hopefully, figure it out.

[amtlib-dot-dll]

Thank you very much!

Same issue on Arch Linux for ie8 (flashing window and exit), ie7 (not even flashing).

1. wine-3.0-rc1
2. winetricks 20171018 - sha256sum: 637b054ee4c50459e49ccc36f018893dabd194e63e7e856dbf9a6257ba42311a
3. plasma 5.11.4-1
4. kernel 4.14.5-1-ARCH

output for ie8: click

Any news on this? It messes up the Lego EV3 software, which needs ie8 for silverlight.

[austin987]

I haven't had a chance to dig into it. I suspect the change was in wine; if someone could run a regression test that would be helpful.

[gverm]

Could this bug be related?

[gverm]

This should be fixed for ie8 with https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/pull/1137
@austin987 even though ie7 doesn't work perfectly with the same workaround, wouldn't it still be a good idea to add it to ie7?

[austin987]

@gverm sorry, missed this. Yes, you can add it.

Hi, override ieframe.dll and after that at least the ie8 main window is opening

[jjardon]

Hi, same problem here with Fedora31 (for ie8, ie7 works fine) (Using winetricks 20190912 and wine-4.21 (Staging))

@hugleo how can you override ieframe.dll ?
