Waves Central won't open when wine is set to windows 10

[niculw]

Hi again, I know this is unrelated but was hoping you could help. When running Waves Central under windows 10 i get the following error

16:19:58 [warning]  WinNodeDisk::parseOutput not output to parse
16:19:58 [critical] MainInitialization::init validator ElectronWindowsInitializerValidator returned
 fail
16:19:58 [critical] Main:init has failed to initialize Waves Central cannot detect the free space o
n your OS drive. Therefore, it cannot install software or manage licenses.

This may be because:

1. An antivirus is blocking Waves Central from accessing Windows Management Interface (WMI). Please disable y
our antivirus software and try running Waves Central again.

2. You do not have sufficient privileges to access WMI services. Please try another Administrator account in 
order to run Waves Central as an Admin, or contact your machine's Admin.

3. Your WMI Repository is missing or corrupted. Try to run Windows repair, or contact your machine's Admin.

How ever running it with a win7, 8, 8.1 machine it works completely fine. I must be missing a dll or something i think, but googling the error returns nothing. Any ideas?

Hi,

I tried this and got the same error as you. Looks like a missing API from ntdll. With the patch below I was able to start it in win10 mode up to the login-window Just got the hint by starting "wine powershell", then it complains about this missing function. I`ll try to get patch into wine later

This issue should be fixed in most recent Staging version (wine-staging-6.0rc3)

Hi, where is ntdll? I don't want to change wine versions Edit: Ive found it, but i don't have the tools to edit the file.

Hi, where is ntdll? I don't want to change wine versions Edit: Ive found it, but i don't have the tools to edit the file.

Hi, just use (recent) Wine-Staging (instead of regular Wine) and it should be fine.

The 2nd comment refers to the case you would be willing to compile wine yourself, but then youd have to download wines source code and have the knowledge how to compile wine. In case that`s the case: the affected code is in /dlls/ntdll/rtl.c b/dlls/ntdll/rtl.c and /dlls/ntdll/rtl.c b/dlls/ntdll/ntdll.spec

May be somebody knows how to fix this issue? (wine-staging 6.2, after switch to windows10)

Hi EchoLot, do those fixmes produce an error while trying run Waves? Otherwise I expect thpse fixmes to be quite harmless

[EchoL0t]

@PietJankbal Yep, I'm trying to run waves 12. I've successfully installed and ran waves 12 under win7, but need win10 to run plugins. Done just manual fixes adding your powershell and cp where.exe instl.exe

[PietJankbal]

That "copy where.exe instl.exe" causes issues, better avoid that i think . If you run into "permissions issues" better try comment 10 from https://github.com/PietJankbal/powershell-wrapper-for-wine/issues/4

I`m trying to get a patch in Staging for fixing this bug,

And for win10 you1ll need wine-staging; wine itsself will crash if windows version is set to 10 , staging has a patch for that

[EchoL0t]

Ok, thanks) I'll better wait for a new version of wine-staging with your patch. Unfortunately I don't know how to build it in a proper way with support of all nessesary things like vulkan

[PietJankbal]

This "Central has encountered a system permissions issue" error should be fixed by a yesterday`s commit to Wine-Staging, so in upcoming Wine-Staging-6.4 (next week) this issue should be gone.

Closing this one, for subsequent issues please open new bugreports
