--- Comment #23 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2007-11-26 04:25:42 --- Hello,
--- quote --- Unfortunately I have to take XP because in my case the installation of the .NET is part of an installer installing other components at the same time which are in turn working best in XP. --- quote ---
Are you talking about the app installer or the app startup afterwards? If your app installer does not explicitly request XP mode and wine fails at some point in installer Windows 2000 mode and succeeds in XP mode then its a wine bug, completely valid to be filed.
--- quote --- No problem on this side - the installer of the net on XP is complaining at the end because it can't finish the installation but as far as I am concerned it's not too problematic (the net is running). --- quote ---
Yes, the main (relevant) parts get installed. The assembly registration steps fail due to missing junction point API hence the "installation failed" message.
--- quote --- Maybe it will be cleared with your patch - I will tell you tomorrow if there is a new GIT today with your patch. --- quote ---
My patch? I supplied a couple of proof-of-concept-patches/hacks required for .NET 2.x to be installing/running (see howto). I doubt you will see them all in next GIT snapshots, especially the guard page one. Just apply them when you're about to use .NET. And I don't understand what you mean with "cleared" ... if you're talking about your mysterious memory leak: I don't have any patches regarding this issue (I don't even know the bug id for this "leak").
