            Bug ID: 40427
           Summary: PS4 Remote Play Installer does not work because it
                    needs Windows Media Feature Pack
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.5
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: windowscodecs

Hi folks,

Running wine-staging 1.9.5 and trying to install the new PS4 Remote Play app
that was released this morning:
https://www.thurrott.com/xbox/66088/ps4-remote-play-comes-pc

Made a fresh wineprefix. First, I had to set the Windows version to 8.1 because
anything less complained that it was unsupported by the installer. Then, I had
to make another new 32bit wine prefix because on 64bits the installer
complained that it had a resolution below 1024x768. Finally, I got an error
about needing to install the Windows Media Feature Pack.

This is an MSU installer (Windows8.1-KB2929699-x86.msu) so it isn't supported
in upstream Wine; however, staging recently added support for some MSU
installers. They haven't really documented how this is supposed to work beyond
"it uses WUSA" and ".NET 4.5 will work out of the box after setting an override
for mscoree in winecfg," so I set the override, and tried:

$ env WINEPREFIX=~/.ps4test wine ~/.ps4test/drive_c/windows/system32/wusa.exe
Windows8.1-KB2929699-x86.msu 

Which had this output:

...
fixme:wusa:read_assembly Ignoring unexpected tag L"rescache"
fixme:wusa:read_assembly Ignoring unexpected tag L"memberships"
fixme:wusa:read_assembly Ignoring unexpected tag L"localization"
fixme:wusa:read_assembly Ignoring unexpected tag L"rescache"
fixme:wusa:read_assembly Ignoring unexpected tag L"languagePack"
fixme:wusa:read_assembly Ignoring unexpected tag L"memberships"
fixme:wusa:read_assembly Ignoring unexpected tag L"localization"
fixme:wusa:read_assembly Ignoring unexpected tag L"rescache"
fixme:wusa:install_assembly Assembly L"Microsoft-Windows-MFPlat" not found
err:wusa:install_updates Failed to install update
L"Microsoft-Windows-MediaFeaturePack-OOB-Package-TopLevel"
err:wusa:install_msu Dryrun failed, aborting installation

So, OK, maybe that one particular MSU doesn't work still, or maybe I'm doing it
wrong. I then tried the middle answer from this AskUbuntu thread to add the
relevant h264 functionality manually:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/651099/how-to-install-windows-media-feature-pack-required-by-a-game

But unfortunately, after successfully registering the relevant DLLs and
creating the registry keys, the PS4 Remote Play Installer still complains about
wanting the Windows Media Feature Pack. So I'm stuck for now. But hopefully
this is a start!
