------- Additional Comments From jasonspiro3+wine@gmail.com 2006-23-05 04:25 ------- Hi John,
I have never used Google Earth, and I am fairly new to diagnosing Wine issues, but I did a bit of basic research on your InstallShield error by doing a Web search for InstallShield 6005.
- Could you tell us which Google Earth version are you using? Is it the absolute latest one available? - Did you try renaming your $HOME/.wine directory to $HOME/.wineold or some such and trying again? - When you run the installer with a WINEDEBUG option as in this example: WINEDEBUG=+all wine ./GoogleEarth.exe 2>&1 | tee all.winelog then does the log output that is produced right before the error shows up onscreen provide any hints? If so, can you send us the relevant portion as an attachment to this bug? - The page http://forums.ngemu.com/software-discussion/48449-installshield-error.html suggests you install DCOM98 from Microsoft, and if that doesn't work, to install the latest Internet Explorer. Seems like too much work to install IE, but you could always try downloading and installing MSFT's DCOM98 and see if that helps.
All, would it be a good idea for me to suggest to John that he do regression testing if he still wants to try to fix the problem after all this, or would that be an unfair suggestion considering he is not a veteran bug tracker yet :) or for some other reason?
