Selected Test Results

What works

  • Installer
  • Application
  • Diagnostics
  • URLs
  • Uninstall (though it leaves the empty Gomez directory behind)

What does not

  • Drawing problems in WinXP mode (used Win7)
  • CPU utilisation in the diagnostics is very wrong
  • All processes run at normal priority (should be idle)
  • taskkill still broken
  • After running for a long time Java can consume 100% CPU when apparently not doing anything. Not sure what's causing it or if it is actually or bug (and if it is a bug if it's a bug in Wine).

HowTo / Notes

Workarounds

Tested under Wine 1.7.38.

  1. Run winecfg and set Windows mode to Windows 7.
  2. Install.

Thanks to KÃ¥re Baastrup for the help.

Niceness

At time of writing Wine fails to set process priority. To work around this you can use the ionice and nice programs which are available for most Linux distributions (and others).

For example:

ionice -c3 nice -n19 wine "c:\\Program Files\\Gomez\\GomezPEER\\bin\\GomezPEER.exe"

or better still:

chrt -i 0 wine "c:\\Program Files\\Gomez\\GomezPEER\\bin\\GomezPEER.exe"

The background process can use 100% CPU so if you do not do this you may notice a system slowdown.

Under Windows, GomezPEER.exe runs at normal priority and java.exe runs at idle priority. You can use a script to do this if you wish but the above should be adequate.

Note: The above will also start the wineserver in idle priority, so all other Wine applications will also be given the lowest priority. If you run other Windows processes you will want to run the above last. The following shell script should offer a clue as to how to work around this problem should you later need to start a new Windows application with normal priority.

#!/bin/sh
wineboot
chrt -i 0 wine "c:\\Program Files\\Gomez\\GomezPEER\\bin\\GomezPEER.exe"
Uninstall leaves empty directories behind
Following uninstall of Gómez Peer you will likely be left with a number of empty directories. This is normal behaviour and the same occurs in Windows XP. This is not a Wine bug.
