Cannot install MS GDI+ (gdiplus)

[Speykious]

Using the latest winetricks version and a 64-bit prefix, I cannot install GDI+. Other useful info: I'm on Arch Linux and cabextract is at version 1.11.

I get a SHA256 mismatch, and when I try to continue anyway, cabextract doesn't find any valid cabinets:

This is often the result of an updated package such as vcrun2019.
If you are willing to accept the risk, you can bypass this check.
Alternatively, you may use the --force option to ignore this check entirely.

Continue anyway?

I'll note that i seems like the obtained hash has changed every time for every download.

I've also tried to fix everything I could by looking at previous issues: removing the cache because maybe a file was corrupted there, making a brand new prefix to download it, doing a sed on the checksum, self-updating wineprefix... Nothing worked. :(

grep: warning: stray \ before /

is suspicious; can you attach a log with winetricks -v?

Are you using firejail, by chance?

[blablablerg]

I am on NixOS and have the same error. I have attached a log. output.log

[blablablerg]

I want to add, that in console winetricks gdiplus did work for me. I still see the grep: warning: stray \ before / and some cache mismatch warnings.

I still see the grep: warning: stray \ before /

This is likely a feature of grep since 3.8 [1].

Regular expressions with stray backslashes now cause warnings, as
their unspecified behavior can lead to unexpected results.
For example, '\a' and 'a' are not always equivalent
<https://bugs.gnu.org/39678>.  Similarly, regular expressions or
subexpressions that start with a repetition operator now also cause
warnings due to their unspecified behavior; for example, *a(+b|{1}c)
now has three reasons to warn.  The warnings are intended as a
transition aid; they are likely to be errors in future releases.

I think it only crashes in the GUI mode; winetricks -q gdiplus worked for me as well.
