            Bug ID: 43193
           Summary: MinGW-w64 GUI installer fails 66 per cent through its
                    file-installation page.
           Product: Wine-staging
           Version: 2.10
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

      Distribution: ---

My platform is Debian Jessie, and I am using the WineHQ repository for that
distro  following the advice at <https://wine-staging.com/installation.html>. 
I installed the latest version (2.10) of winehq-staging and set the environment
variables

export WINEVERSION=2.10_jessie_wine_staging
export WINEPREFIX=/home/wine/wine_staging/.wine-$WINEVERSION
export WINEDEBUG='fixme-all'

and ran

winecfg

taking defaults for everything.  Then

wine at raven> wine --version
wine-2.10 (Staging)

wineserver -p

nice -19 wine msys2-x86_64-20161025.exe

Welcome screen, set prefix (added date string to default location),
start menu shortcuts left as they were, then install page went
to the 66 per cent level and then generated
a Program Error GUI box with the message

The program bash.exe has encountered a serious error and needs to close.  We
are sorry for the inconvenience.

Program error details page on GUI was empty.

stderr (or stdout) had the following messages on the konsole
instance I was running:

err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised
err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised
err:ole:CoCreateInstanceEx apartment not initialised
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000020 at address 0x7bc4b478
(thread 0045), starting debugger...

The installer GUI details showed the install failed (at the ~66 per cent mark)
while installing nansi.sys.
This is definitely a wine-staging bug because the equivalent experiment
with vanilla wine-2.10 (obtained by purging winehq-staging and installing
winehq-devel) had no troubles with that install page of the GUI (although the
above "apartment" warnings were produced), but failed in other ways on the
final page of that GUI.
Note it is likely this current wine-staging bug with the initial file
installation has been introduced in the past year since
<https://github.com/TeaCI/tea-ci/wiki/Msys2-on-Wine> implies MSYS2 works on
Wine-staging, and that page was last updated in July last year.

However, introduction of this wine-staging bug is not extremely recent because
I replicated this bug also for wine-staging 2.4 (the earliest version [released
March 2017] currently available for the winehq Debian Jessie repository.
