Returned unexpanded string

[greencopper]

Running with the latest version (have installed using wget method).

wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned unexpanded string '%ProgramFiles%' ... this can be caused by a corrupt wineprefix, by an old wine, or by not owning ...

Also running latest wine-staging on Arch.

768e592 adds better debugging info if this happens. Could you try with latest git and attach the output if you're still having issues.

Also, I just ran into this myself (I think because I CTRL+C'ed while running something, which presumably corrupted something in the registry).

The workaround I found was wineboot -u, which forces an update of your registry. Could you try that if you still have the problem? If it works I'll add that suggestion to the error message.

I ran into this problem today, can confirm that running wineboot -u solved the issue
