[PHOTOSHOP7] not installable, OS not supported, for NT4 service pack >= 6a

Hello,

this is the second test with no config file as Mike Hearn suggested [1].

'Adobe Photoshop 7.0' can't be installed: the problem is grave, as the
installation process doesn't start at all.

The steps:
=====
luca(a)gismo:~/cvs/wine-20040615$ rm -rf /home/luca/.wine/
luca(a)gismo:~/cvs/wine-20040615$ wine
/home/luca/win32_install/Adobe/Adobe.Photoshop.7/Photoshop/Setup.exe
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/luca/.wine'...
wine: '/home/luca/.wine' created successfully.
fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.
luca(a)gismo:~/cvs/wine-20040615$
=====

I can see the 'Photoshop 7' logo window, but then another window appears
with this message:
	"This operating system is not supported by this installation.
	For Windows NT 4, you must have service pack 6a or greater to
	install.

	Setup will now quit."

And pressing OK causes nothing, I mean, I don't need to press OK to have
'wine' quitting: I can leave the message window open and continue to use
the 'gnome-terminal' with no problem.

Again, with the 'fake_windows' provided by the 'WineTools' [2], I can
install 'Photoshop 7.0' with all the options (included 'ImageReady').
The only problem I get is an error creating the icon set, but pressing
'OK' lets the installation process to finish cleanly.

Solutions?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

This is probably because we default to using DLL linkage heuristics in the
no config file case. These are frequently wrong, most people just set
their config file to default to Win98. I sent a patch to create a new
"auto" version to restore the old behaviour and set the default version to
98, does it help?
