IE6 runs automaticaly when the wineprefix is updated #218

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install ie6 with winetricks
2. Remove .update-timestamp in the prefix
3. Run wineboot (twice might be needed). You must see "Updating prefix" window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The window in the screenshot appears, and the prefix can't be updated while 
it's not closed. It can cause troubles for automatic scripts

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OSX but it should be the same on Linux

is using ie7 instead of ie6 a sufficient workaround?

Wineboot does this. Wine's gecko doesn't pop up a window, but native ie does.

I'd guess we'd want to either have wineboot not update the prefix (bad), or 
find a way of not registering mshtml on every boot.
