           Summary: Anno 1602 first CD release (1998) installer fails to
                    copy file(s)
           Product: Wine

                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

Hello folks,

just for documenting the issue.

A user in #winehq wanted to install Anno 1602 and it failed for him.

I've investigated some Anno 1602 bugs in the past (bug 13754 for example) but
never encountered this.

I bought the original game cheaply, CD Cover says "Windows 95/98".
Date of files on CD is November, 2001

Installs fine in 32-bit WINEPREFIX using Wine 1.6, 1.7.x

UBISoft provides an installer fix for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, indicating
that the 1998 installer can't work on modern Windows OS (various 'Anno' online
forums mention this).
It's also unlikely that MS provides a shim for this otherwise the installer
would work for Windows 2K/XP users.

--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht <focht(a)gmx.net> ---
Hello folks again,

summarizing:

- distributor/developer of the game provides a fix, dubbed "Win 2000 / Win XP
Installationsfix"
- newer CD releases of Anno 1602, starting with 2000/2001+ ship with fixed
installer
- users running the original installer are asked to apply the fix, indicating
that MS doesn't provide an installer shim for this

I think it's ok to opt for 'INVALID' since the installer is definitely broken.

Regards
