Trying to rebuild image throws "Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file"

Greetings,

Due to security restrictions, I need to rebuild the pywine image locally using only verified local repositories that provide debian/python packages and the python executable. I managed to successfully install winehq-stable, but after running init-wine.sh and attempting to install the Python executable, the following message appears:

ARG PYTHON_VERSION=3.13.0
# Install python 3.12 within wine
RUN umask 0 && cd /tmp/helper && curl -LO \
    https://my.secret.repo/python-$PYTHON_VERSION-amd64.exe && \
    xvfb-run sh -c "\
        wine python-${PYTHON_VERSION}-amd64.exe /quiet /passive TargetDir=C:\\Python \
        Include_doc=0 InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1; \
    wineserver -w"

#16 2.349 Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
#16 2.349 ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

The rest of my dockerfile is omitted here but is practically a 1:1 copy of pywine and wine-docker.
Running wine start /unix gets rid of the error, but the command hangs.

Are you sure the installer file isn't corrupted? You might want to add --fail-with-body to the curl call if you aren't verifying the integrity of the download afterwards...

Hello! Completely forgot to update this issue. You were dead right, curl was failing the authentication. Fixing that has solved the issue. Happy 2025, and thanks!
