           Summary: some frameworks fail to initialize if fs mounted in
                    noexec
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.18
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

While mounting /home in noexec is common security practise i surprised not to
find similar report entries however i sure that there are a lot bugs connected
to this issue.

Practising such way myself i found out that if the place where external (not
wine-native) libraries and frameworks (such Mono or MS Visual C++) is situated
(9/10 chance that it is your /home) mounted with noexec option any tries to run
software dependent on them will fail with different and non-intuitive errors
like infamous "err:module:attach_process_dlls "MSVCR80.dll" failed to
initialize, aborting"

it's not matter what mounting options used on fs where actual application is
placed.

to pin-point such behaviour always check if non-working software will work then
you remount fs with exec option and it probably be good thing to tag existing
bug entries where bugs caused by this and named by application as duplicats to
this entry
