Full error report

Description of problem:
WINE fails to start installer .exe from http://www.msys2.org/. Error is "unimplemented function UxTheme.dll.SetWindowThemeAttribute".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0.1-1.el7

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download msys2-x86_64-20180531.exe from http://www.msys2.org/
2. wine start /unix msys2-x86_64-20180531.exe

Actual results:
"Program Error" window pops up. The text shown under "Show Details" mentions "unimplemented function UxTheme.dll.SetWindowThemeAttribute".


Expected results:
The program does what it's supposed to, i.e. run an interactive installer session.

Additional info:
Full backtrace is attached.

The problem looks a lot like the one(s) described in https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44494 and https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42085, which means an upgrade to the latest upstream version will probably help.

I have built newer rpms using "rpm --rebuild wine-3.5-1.fc28.src.rpm", and after installing this, the installer starts as expected. I get an error during installation, though. If I ignore it, the operation completes, but the installed programs don't seem to work.

Please ask upstream to backport the enhancement for this if you want it.

EPEL will only contain stable Wine versions. 3.0.x +
Comment 4 Michael Cronenworth 2018-06-26 14:40:15 UTC 
On another note you can install MinGW packages from EPEL without needing something crazy like running MinGW inside of Wine.
Comment 5 Toralf 2018-06-26 17:07:46 UTC 
OK. I thought EPEL would generally use the same policy as Fedora, which evidently does have newer ("development"?) releases of WINE.

I have thought about cross-compiling, but decided to try the emulated set-up first. One advantage of MSYS2 is that it has a more extensive selection of pre-compiled packages. It actually covers everything I need, which the "mingw" set in EPEL doesn't. Besides that, the bug probably also affects other Windows applications.

On a related note, Wine 3.0.2 was also released today...

EPEL does not follow Fedora's policies.

MinGW may be more limited on EPEL, but it is fully functional on Fedora.
