I'm trying to run a game installer which requires me to scroll down a license agreement before being able to continue, it is rendered in HTML using some IE tech so I need wine-gecko I believe.. but how do I install it?

wine msiexec /i wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86_64.msi just gives me:

0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot

Not being able to scroll means not being able to agree to the licence agreement.

See: https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.

EDIT #1

When wine initializes itself I get this:

wine: created the configuration directory '/home/myuser/.wine'
0012:err:ole:marshal_object couldn't get IPSFactory buffer for interface {00000131-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in L"/home/myuser/.wine" has been updated.
Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
0009:err:mshtml:create_document_object Failed to init Gecko, returning CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE

So it looks like it's trying to find gecko somewhere..

Download the latest Gecko files for your Wine version at https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko. So if you have Wine 5.* you should download:

And you do need both x86 and x86_64 for this to work, but there is no need to download the .tar.bz2 versions, .msi is what you want.

Then put them into the ~/.cache/wine/ directory and initialize/run Wine for the first time, such as by running wineboot or wine someapp.exe, but make sure you don't already have a ~/.wine/ directory, if you do have one Wine won't install Gecko.

But of course don't delete the ~/.wine/ directory if you have important files there!
