Hi, I have been following this bug as I am trying to get WeMod (gaming app that
uses Squirrel Installer) working on winehq-staging (now 6.12). I successfully
installed it a few winehq-staging versions ago, back when the "runas" command
still worked, but I had to wipe my prefix since then, so I'm trying to
reinstall. EnableLUA is set to 1 in the regedit, and the error to 'please
install as normal user' is no longer showing up.

However, once the GUI installer finishes its downloading work, it shortly
disappears, and the terminal output goes into a loop of errors including:

err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception stack overflow

fixme:ntdll:NtFilterToken support for restricting sids not yet implemented

The app seems to halfway install. Icons are created and a black box shows up
when it is launched, but I have to close it with wineserver -k, or else it just
hangs there. I have done this a couple of times and manually uninstalled by
finding and deleting the relevant files, but I can run it again if you need
full cli output.  

Since WeMod successfully installed and was working before with 'runas', I'm
hoping that the problem is related to this bug, but I can look elsewhere if you
all would be kind enough to point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

(FWIW, I had winecfg set to Win7 when WeMod successfully installed/ran, but I
have it set to Win10 now, and would like to keep it that way if possible.)
