Summary: Error running InstMsiA.exe downloaded from link on this website Product: Wine Version: 0.9.25. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sanjay_pethe@yahoo.com
Hi, First of all, thank you for working on this product. I am trying to get SOMETHING working on Wine and have not been able to so far (including IE6). Since I'm new to wine, I suspect I have not configured it properly.
I was trying to set up msi overrides as described at this link: http://wiki.winehq.org/NativeMsi
I deleted my .wine to get rid of all old stuff and started winecfg. I set wine to run as Windows 98 and selected msi from the "New Overrides for Library" drop down list on the Library tab. I then exited by clicking the OK button.
Next, I removed the ./drive_c/windows/system32/msiexec.exe files and copied the InstMsiA.exe file from the site in that order. When I run wine InstMsiA.exe I get the errors in the attached file. Is this expected?
I did get a windows/Installer/InstMsi0 directory with a bunch of files under my drive_c at the end of this though.
