--- Comment #3 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

not sure what this bug is really about... different issues mixed together.

The second app, 'Garbage Truck Simulator' is not worth to continue.
The game uses DHTML to process some online activation (DRM scheme) and times
out doing that because the server 'amlocalhost.macrovision.com' is not longer
reachable.

Download:
http://mirror.iprimus.com.au/games/GarbageTruckSimulator/garbage_truck_simulator-v1_0.exe

--- snip ---
0024:fixme:shell:UrlIsW
(L"http://amlocalhost.macrovision.com/offline/007b3074/open.html?currenttime=2014/03/08@14:32:23&pooltime=2014/03/08@14:32:23&license_ts=0&contentid=1deec004ce8887a1554c50d162f55b7a&offering=en_30m&affiliate=icebyte_ctd&file=city-garbage.exe&contentid=1deec004ce8887a1554c50d162f55b7a&tracking=003890e24c"...
2): stub
--- snip ---

Even with 'winetricks -q ie7' it doesn't go further.

$ sha1sum garbage_truck_simulator-v1_0.exe 
7b309d83c23780a160668aee0c252b3c2455ca5c  garbage_truck_simulator-v1_0.exe

$ du -sh garbage_truck_simulator-v1_0.exe 
750M    garbage_truck_simulator-v1_0.exe

====

Making this bug about missing 'hta' file association.
Since 'mshta' is a stub program itself it will not be really useful though.

Site which provides example HTAs:

http://www.robvanderwoude.com/htaexamples.php

--- snip ---
$ wine start ADSITEST.HTA 
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the
specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Success.
--- snip ---

$ wine --version
wine-1.7.14
