Hello,

Yes, but we still have to check if the original issue with MIDISOFT Studio 4
was fixed by installing 32-bit libvulkan, so we kind-of need to fix the file
permissions too.

Be careful when asking to 'rm' things. That deletes the files definitively.
Make sure to backup any valuable file before deleting them.
It is usually better to rename, or move the files/directories away when
renaming is not enough.

wineboot output is ok (it is normal to have those few ERR and FIXME lines).
notepad output is ok, except for the broken files.

If you installed them, Wine will not ask you for Mono or Gecko again, until the
next version upgrade.

To fix your file permissions you have to find all files owned by root in your
HOME directory and change the ownership back to your normal user (owner and
group).
Bugzilla is not meant to be a user help forum, so you'll have to search the web
to get help for that:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/22747/finding-files-by-their-owner-and-file-permissions
https://askubuntu.com/questions/6723/change-folder-permissions-and-ownership

Once the files and directories are owned by your user again, you may either try
to restore the wineprefix of your old MIDISOFT Studio 4 installation.
If it still doesn't work, reinstall the application in a new wineprefix, as you
did with notepad.

Regards.
