During installation, wine silently fails to install an application at the following point:

Execute: C:\users\user\Temp\vcredist_x64 /passive /norestart

Digging further, the temp folder inside my wine folder is filled with installation errors such as the following:

[0027:0028][2016-09-04T15:43:37]e000: Error 0x800705b4: Failed to open parent pipe: \\.\pipe\BurnPipe.{E789565F-2800-496A-97E2-6760C4AB4AB5} [0027:0028][2016-09-04T15:43:37]e000: Error 0x800705b4: Failed to connect to unelevated process. [0027:0028][2016-09-04T15:43:37]e000: Error 0x800705b4: Failed to run per-machine

Most articles related to this error can be distilled to "did you try wine tricks" which isn't helping.

Two things to ask, and two things to try.

First thing to look at--is the application you are trying to install known to work with wine? You can look it up at http://appdb.winehq.org/.

Secondly, is this application from a legitimate source? If it's not, it may be corrupted, it may be infected with malware, or it may be a dummy package that doesn't actually install the program.

If those two questions are resolved, try the following:

  • Try installing the application as root.
  • If that fails, try re-installing wine, and installing the application in a fresh wine installation.

Good luck!

  • Wine supports an older version of the same software, which is from a legitimate source. Running it as root created a new.wine folder but failed in the same manner.
