Bug ID: 50094
Summary: Rockstar Games Launcher installer hyperlinks don't
work
Product: Wine
Version: 5.20
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
Reporter: bshanks at codeweavers.com
Distribution: ---
The Rockstar Games Launcher installer (NSIS-based) contains hyperlinks which do
nothing when clicked.
The NSIS script does the following:
- fetches the content of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice\ProgId
- take that value and get the content of HKCR\$value\shell\open\command
- concatenate the URL after that command, and execute it
Two fixes are needed: one to add the UrlAssociations keys, and one for
winebrowser to handle URLs which are missing a scheme (i.e. 'http://')
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice\ProgId
needs to be set to 'http'.
HKCR\http\shell\open\command is already set to
'"C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe" -nohome'.
With a UrlAssocations key for http added, "C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe"
www.rockstargames.com/eula is what gets executed.
But xdg-open on Linux requires URLs to have a scheme, and fails unless changes
are made to winebrowser.
