Created attachment 1454618 [details] 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. https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/28613fcd934bffb3a581830a8fa7568ab35e4140 https://bugs.winehq.org/ EPEL will only contain stable Wine versions. 3.0.x +
On another note you can install MinGW packages from EPEL without needing something crazy like running MinGW inside of Wine.
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...

MinGW may be more limited on EPEL, but it is fully functional on Fedora. > On a related note, Wine 3.0.2 was also released today...
