OMG, I wish I'd tried that sooner. I didn't realise this was the preferred way to run .NET apps on Wine... when you run a .NET exe without a .NET runtime installed, you get a message telling you to install Mono. :) Anyway, there is a different problem with native .NET (installed with 'winetricks dotnet20).

The directory name is different because it's from a different run, but with the same inputs and outcome. At a guess I'd say it's mergemod.dll that is malfunctioning; the file 'merge.log' indicates that it's failing rather early in the job it's performing.

Mono is the preferred way to run .NET apps on Wine but it may not work as well as native yet. You could try running this on Mono for Windows to see if the bug is in Wine or Mono.
Anyway, there is a different problem with native .NET (installed with 'winetricks dotnet20). Here's the output.
This does look like an msi bug:

Understood. I'll try Microsoft .NET before filing such bugs in the future.

I think that's because I'm running on Windows 7, which already has it installed. I don't have a machine without it on, I'm afraid. :( (There's actually a splash screen that appears before the installer's main screen is shown. I didn't notice it before, but it's missing in Wine.) -- 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.

From what I understand, all files from the merge modules should be properly merged in the database file File.idt, which is then imported and used used to create the msi package. The problem here is that the the merge module files are not included in this database and therefore when the binder looks for them in the File database it can 't find them. As you can see in the binder temporary directory, the File.idt database only has one entry, which belongs to the file included in the installer but it doesn't include any file from the merge modules.

I was hoping it would fix this bug, but creating installer packages with merge modules is still not working. Over the next week I'll try recompiling WiX form sources to debug this issue and try to fix it. -- 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.
