http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140 Summary: Problem parsing comments in Setup .INFs Product: Wine Version: 20010112 Platform: PC URL: http://download.microsoft.com/download/msdnlib/Install/1 .32/W9X2KMeXP/EN-US/htmlhelp.exe OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.com ReportedBy: j_r_fonseca(a)yahoo.co.uk It seems that WINE Setup API has problem parsing comments in .INFs. For instance, when trying to install HTML Help Workshop above the Setup fails with the message: Incorrect INF file syntax in section 'HHWDestinationDir ; Ask user for custom destination' Uncompressing the self-extracting package and removing the comments avoids the problem: cabextract htmlhelp.exe mv htmlhelp.inf htmlhelp.inf.orig sed -e 's/;.*$//g' htmlhelp.inf.orig > htmlhelp.inf wine setup.exe DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140>. ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE.
