Summary: Adobe Acrobat 7 won't install Product: Wine Version: 0.9.16. Platform: PC URL: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryreg.html OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: leidola@newcon.de
Running Acrobat Setup it complains that Internet Explorer isn't installed. (fresh .wine directory). Adding fake registry entries for IE to system.reg
[Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer] "Version"="6.0.2900.2180"
doesn't help. Installing (and running) acrobat _reader_ works fine.
The trial version from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryreg.html does also show this problem. (Installer crashes, but you can install the extracted msi files in %PROGRAM_FILES%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\AcroPro\EFG* by hand with msiexec)
When looking at msi traces it seems to check for OS, Service packs etc. I found no suspiciously file traces (direct check for DLL in the windows directory) so far.
