Bug ID: 58421
           Summary: Meta Trader 4 still does not start under Wine 10.9
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.9
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

After upgrading wine to 10.9 Meta Trader 4 still does not start.
But with this wine version it seams to be not the same issue as under wine 10.3
to 10.7 (described in https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58011 and
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_ug.cgi?id=57950 ).
This time there in no error message window (as it was under wine 10.3 to 10.7)
and a try to start MT4 in the linux terminal generates other error (not the
same as previously) as shown below:

Downgrading to wine 10.2-2 temporary solves the issue (MT4 starts, at least
under Manjaro Linux, with Windows 11 set in wine settings).

> 003c:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.

How are you running this? Is it in a chroot/container?

Please show the result of
$ echo $DISPLAY

Normally, I start Meta Trader 4 by clicking on the MT4 icon. When I tried to
start Meta Trader 4 under wine 10.9 in this way, nothing was happening (no
error message window as it was under wine 10.3 to 10.7).

To see the errors under wine 10.9, I started MT4 (without any chroot/container)
in my default Linux terminal (xfce4-terminal) by typing the command "wine
terminal.exe" (and being in MT4 directory).

The result of "echo $DISPLAY" command is one line only: 
:0.0

> wine terminal.exe

This is the 32-bit application, and as of 10.8-2 Arch, and therefore Manjaro,
switched to the new (experimental) WoW64.
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/wine/-/commit/b92e...

sha1: f6d9fd62eb68acfb25d169caab3fde43c653223e mt4-227.exe
https://web.archive.org/web/20101228171757/http://www.metatrader4.com/files/...

I tested on Manjaro but cannot recreate the issue. We probably have slightly
different versions, however.

With Wine 10.2-2:
$ winetricks -q mfc42
$ wine mt4-227.exe
Application starts fine.

$ echo disabled > ~/.wine/.update-timestamp # Only way to trigger any kind of
issue

With Wine 10.9:
$ wine terminal.exe
Crash caught by MT4 and exits

$ wineboot -u
$ wine terminal.exe
Application starts fine.

My guess is that you are using an old wineprefix.

Can you try running "wineboot -u" and then run MT4 again? If this fails can you
try a fresh install in a clean wineprefix?

I tried everything you suggested and it seems that this (experimental) WoW64
mode is responsible for all those problems - with every Windows program (not
just MT4) under wine-10.9.
So under  wine-10.9:
"wineboot -u" generates errors
and "winecfg" generates the same errors
and neither MT4 nor any other Windows program is starting.

After creating a new clean winprefix, there are still errors (although slightly
different) and nothing starts up.

All the errors generated by the individual attempts I posted below:

Fortunately, wine-10.2-2 is working.
