           Summary: WMI: provide "WMIC" stub executable to silence various
                    "file not found" messages (Java SE JRE/JDK installers)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.1
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wmi&wbemprox
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: focht at gmx.net


Hello,

when installing Java SE JRE/JDK, the installer calls the WMIC executable (using
"cmd"), cluttering console with messages: 

--- snip ---
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\WMIC.exe"
--- snip ---

This is a tool to access Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) from the
command line, part of WMI core.

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394531.aspx

Trace log:

Would be fine if Wine could provide a stub executable to silence this until
real work on WMI starts one day ... (like Wine's "lodctr" for .NET stuff)
Ideally the WMIC stub should print the command line passed to it using own
debug channel ;-)
