[Bug 20804] New: Wine should be able to run/execute/install MSI files directly
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20804 Summary: Wine should be able to run/execute/install MSI files directly Product: Wine Version: 1.1.33 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: loader AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: t.artem(a)mailcity.com Right now if you $ wine package.msi it will just "Segmentation fault" I believe, since msiexec is hidden under $PREFIX/lib/wine/msiexec.exe.so and can only be run via "wine msiexec /i installer.msi" (which is at best very tiresome), it would be much more convenient just to automatically call MSI installer if wine itself is called with .MSI package as the only argument. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Exactly. Launching msi files directly under a dos prompt fails as well. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
