Bad EXE format when installing vcrun6sp6

[maluhia]

Trying to run a program with wine, but I get cannot import dll :isskin.dll. Thus, I am instructed to install vcrun6sp6 with winetricks.

I attempted with both a 64bit and 32bit prefix, but the installation fails. Output is below. Note that both corefonts and vcrun2008 installed successfully with winetricks. Output of error follows:

It's a bug in wine-staging, works fine in plain wine, 32 and 64-bit.

(tested using 4.0-rc1)

@austin987 Thank you for the quick reply.

I removed wine-staging and installed wine from the debian repos. (version 3.03-2). I still receive the error with 64bit and 32bit staging. I created a fresh prefix just to make sure:

Actually, this is likely cabextract related. What version do you have?

See kyz/libmspack#22 / #1120 for more info

[maluhia]

@austin987 I see. I have cabextract 1.9

[austin987]

You'll need to upgrade/downgrade to a working version. See:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=914263
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912687

[maluhia]

Sounds like it was just fixed today and will be pushed to cabextract 1.9.2

Thanks again
