Running wineserver -w

[601t]

OS:Linux mint 18.3
Kernel:4.4.0-104
Winetricks version:20171222
Wine version:2.0.4(Stable), 2.21.0(Staging) and 3.0-rc5(Development)

Error message:
Running /usr/bin/wineserver -w. This will hang until all wine processes in prefix=/home/USERNAME/.wine terminate

Maybe, regedit will not work properly.
Please tell me how to fix this problem.

Rewrite it.

I don't see any bug here. If winetricks needs to wait for wineserver, it will warn you so that you can gracefully close running apps rather than wondering why winetricks hung.

If you have a suggestion for better wording, fine. Otherwise, there's no bug here.

You can use -q in console made to avoid the pop-up.

I'm not going to kill things without notice, that could cause user data loss or registry corruption.

If you have GUI suggestions, send a patch, but posting on closed bugs is not the way to do it.

open another terminal and kill the blocking wine process with
"wineserver -k "
