[Bug 9313] New: InstallShield Wizard exits because requires newer system
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9313 Summary: InstallShield Wizard exits because requires newer system Product: Wine Version: 0.9.24. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: wine(a)skewray.com Created an attachment (id=7581) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=7581) Output from wine I am trying to install a program called FRED, an optical engineering program from Photon Engineering, www.photonengr.com. Aquiring the .exe demo install requires signing up, so I will send the .exe to anyone who asks me. The InstallShield Wizard exits after the message: This application requires a newer version of Windows. Please upgrade your operating system. I used winecfg to set the OS version to everything from 95 up to XP. Made no difference. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9313 --- Comment #4 from L. Rahyen <mail(a)science.su> 2007-08-14 00:59:58 --- Why do you think Vitaliy's answer is rude? He is right. No one cannot help you if you are using ancient WINE version! Even if bug you are talking about still exists and someone will made a fix you will never be able to use that fix anyway if you don't want to upgrade WINE so why to bother in a first place? If you are interested in any kind of fixes for any WINE bugs then first thing you should do is to upgrade to newest version - you find THOUSANDS of fixes after upgrade because your version is almost 1 year old! Only then if problem still persist you can and should report bug. In other words you must upgrade at least to 0.9.43 or to current git (this is even better). If up-to-date package for your distro doesn't exist you always can compile WINE yourself. Even if you know nothing about programming this is very simple. You can download source code here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-0.9.43.tar.bz2 Test it with current WINE and reopen this bug if appropriate. But there is very high chances that it is already fixed long time ago. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

What is not rude about allowing people to enter bug reports and them catigating them for doing so? If Wine wishes to have a civilized bug reporting system, then new bugs should only be allowed to be entered for versions of Wine which are considered current. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I did the following:
3) ran winecfg and changed location of C: Why did you do this? DO NOT change default location of C: drive!
4) installed IE6 using wine (The FRED installer asks for that first) DO NOT INSTALL IE! Use 'winetricks fakeie6' : http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
5) ran wineboot (the IE6 installer says to reboot) 6) attempted to install FRED using wine INVALID.

Maybe. There is a reason why windows does not allow switching the drive letter for the currently running windows install. However, wine is definitely more lenient as you actually can do it if done right. This bug as filed is invalid from a broken config. Most people do not need to switch drive C so this is kind of an obscure thing to deal with. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
