Hi Norbert: Thanks for that confirmation of the issue. Correction to my post below: I misread the version, (apt-cache lists all versions fromn 2.10 back to 2.4, and I just read the last one), and it turns out I am actually running wine-staging 2.9, and as soon as I update again, I will be running wine-staging 2.10. However, from your result above, it appears that update won't change anything. :-) > The installer runs through smoothly with non-staging wine That is a really interesting result that suggests some "fix" for wine-staging is interfering with the installer. > but msys2 won’t > start showing stack overflow errors instead. Could you clarify what you mean by that last sentence? Since MinGW-w64/MSYS2 has never worked properly on Wine without the special patches Wine-staging has, I assume it is something like "post-installer use of MinGW-w64/MSYS2 on non-staging Wine shows stack overflow errors", but I want to make sure. But if you confirm that, my working hypothesis (since apparently MinGW-w64/MSYS2 did work properly on wine-staging in July 2016) is there are some patches on wine-staging that are required, but another patch for wine-staging that is interfering with the installer. It appears that there is a package called wine on the wine-staging Debian Jessie repository that conflicts with the winehq-staging package I currently have installed. And the description of that package refers to "standard" Wine. So I assume if I remove winehq-staging and install wine, I should be able to confirm your non-staging results.
