Description Anastasius Focht 2013-12-08 13:22:22 UTC

Hello folks,

as the summary says.

The installer prerequisite log "dd_depcheck_VC_EXP_100.txt" is pretty verbose, no need for Wine trace log:

--- snip ---
...
[12/08/13,20:06:38] Windows XP x64 Service Pack 2 is required == 
[12/08/13,20:06:38] 	This component uses the FileRegVerCheck version check method. It will compare a given version against the version of a regkey on your machine.
[12/08/13,20:06:38] 	Registry key being interrogated: HKLM,System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows; Value: CSDVersion; Version: 512.
[12/08/13,20:06:38] 	Version on user's machine:	256
[12/08/13,20:06:38] 	Version to be installed:	512
[12/08/13,20:06:38] Windows XP x64 Service Pack 2 is required == Component to be installed.
--- snip ---

Setting CSDVersion to 512 in 64-bit prefix allows the installer go further.

Wine uses "Service Pack 3" for 32-bit "Windows XP" setting (=latest).
There is no SP3 for the 64-bit version of Windows XP. XP2 is indeed the latest.

For consistency it would make sense that Wine uses SP2 for 64-bit XP, indicating highest SP level.

Hello Austin,

once again, please refrain from resolving my bug reports as 'fixed' so quickly after the daily GIT master update - unless you really validated that the bug was fixed.

There is one missing bit: 'loader/wine.inf.in' has to be updated too because it contains the version information used during initial 32-bit and 64-bit WINEPREFIX creation.

Comment 3 Anastasius Focht 2013-12-12 13:37:20 UTC

Hello folks,

during investigation of other bugs I found that the 32-bit Firefox 2x installer also refuses to run in clean 64-bit prefix, stating the same requirement: "Windows XP SP2 or later needed".

Download: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-stub&os=win&lang=en-US

$ file Firefox\ Setup\ Stub\ 26.0.exe 
Firefox Setup Stub 26.0.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, UPX compressed

$ sha1sum Firefox\ Setup\ Stub\ 26.0.exe 
6a52429dadad5b3d261b2f44676a67f63a4b4cd0  Firefox Setup Stub 26.0.exe

$ du -sh Firefox\ Setup\ Stub\ 26.0.exe 
280K	Firefox Setup Stub 26.0.exe

$ wine --version

Comment 4 Anastasius Focht 2013-12-27 13:12:12 UTC

Hello folks,

a user just showed up in #winehq

--- quote ---
<cyos> i got a problem with installing FireFox23.0.exe.... i become a message with "Sorry, Firefox cant be installed. This version of Firfox requires Microsoft Windows XP SP 2 or newer"
<focht> cyos: you're installing in 64-bit prefix right? this is a known bug ... work around by winecfg -> select another windows version, select 'windows xp', "ok" = saves data. you can also work around by using 32-bit prefix, e.g. WINEARCH=win32 ..
<cyos> ah ok it works :) thx
* cyos has quit (Quit: Verlassend)

I'd like to point out the fix is easy - there is just one missing part (see my comment #2).
Nowadays many people work with 64-bit prefixes, unaware of the implications.

Regards

Comment 5 Anastasius Focht 2013-12-30 14:47:35 UTC

Hello folks,

this is now also fixed for newly created WINEPREFIXes.

Fixed by commit http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/4af2ca4c39f86111494ebcf39e1fd4285cbfd667

Thanks Hans (first part) and Austin (second part)

NOTE: already existing 64-bit Windows XP SP1 prefixes must be manually corrected (winecfg -> select different Windows version into view, re-select Windows XP -> ok/save).

Regards
