Hi all, apologies if I missed anything, I’m relatively new to the Linux desktop (although I’ve used WSL for a year or so for university, so I wouldn’t call myself new to Linux its self). Currently running into issues with getting Wine to start up, and nothing I’ve tried is working.
When I try to start Wine (winecfg) nothing happens. I’ve tried running it from the command line (wine winecfg) in order to get the program output and there seems to be a ton of errors:
002c:fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)

0048:err:ole:apartment_get_local_server_stream Failed: 0x80004002
I haven’t found anything that has resolved the issue, and my searches for the error messages don’t yield useful results. I’ve tried:
Reinstalling Wine
Rebooting
Deleting the ~/.wine folder
Any suggestions for how I can fix this? I can’t find anything that woks and I sorta need to run some Windows software.
I would head over to WineHQ and put in a bug report there. after that you can try removing the version you have in again and install wine-stagging. I have yest to see that fail on Arch based distros. Grab the version from the official repositories (multilib).
It looks like the latest on WineHQ is 6.20, but Pamac only gives me 6.16 from the official repositories, even for the wine-staging version. Is that expected? Is there a way I can get the latest version from it?
I’m on the live session of Manjaro KDE plasma, just downloaded it today. I’ve installed Wine 6.16 through the Add/Remove software program and ran winecfg in Konsole. I get many of the same errors in the Konsole as you but the window launches just fine. I tried launching it as root as well as standard user. It launches the same either way. You may have a problem with your Manjaro.
The only other package I installed was gtk2 as it was needed for another program.
Nope, 6.16-1 is the absolute latest version that’s available, and Wine still won’t start for the same reason. I’ve tried creating a new prefix and everything.
How can I get Pamac to show the latest version? I doubt they’d accept a bug report for an old version, so having the latest is pretty important.
