Thanks for the report. Could you try running vtm with the specified shell?

wine ./vtm.exe -r term cmd.exe

PS: I don't know how much this is allowed in Wine and what environment it has.

ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

6 (0x6)

The handle is invalid.

Most likely it won't work. Apparently the Console Server is implemented there somehow differently than in the real Windows system. I use an undocumented Win32 API there.

Of all the options that are currently available, probably only the following will work in that environment, but only as a demo (although not very consistent, as on real Windows):

wine ./vtm.exe -r test

wine ./vtm.exe -r gems

wine ./vtm.exe -r calc

wine ./vtm.exe -r text

wine ./vtm.exe -r truecolor

Looking at the Wine source, it seems that a number of necessary APIs are not implemented there.

• ntdll.spec:

  @ stub CsrClientCallServer
  

• win32u.spec:

  @ stub NtUserConsoleControl
  

Maybe someday I'll come up with a workaround for this.
