I've found the winetricks script invaluable in trying to get my app running on Wine. But I found that when installing msxml6, I needed to change the overrides for msi.dll and msiexec.exe to "builtin,native". I previously installed the native msi20, and msxml6 wouldn't install with the native installer. It installs fine with the builtin installer. Thanks, Troy

Hi, Troy. Could you also open a bug for this msxml6 installer problem?
Thanks, Troy

Actually, from Troy's description, there isn't any valid bug at all. Troy claims that the msxml6 installer broke when using native msi.dll but succeeded with Wine's msi implementation. Native msi tends to be pretty useless and break when used on Wine, and there's no problem in Wine, so a bug would be useless here.
Correct. This isn't a bug in Wine. It's a suggestion for making WineTricks more robust. The reason I sent this email re WineTricks is because at: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks It says: Reporting bugs *in* Winetricks Winetricks has a bug tracking system at http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/issues/list though sending email to wine-devel at winehq.org is usually good enough. --Troy ________________________________ From: Andrew Nguyen [mailto:arethusa26(a)gmail.com] Sent: Thu 4/8/2010 4:15 AM To: Nikolay Sivov Cc: wine-devel(a)winehq.org; Troy Wolbrink Subject: Re: a new trick to add to winetricks On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 3:09 AM, Nikolay Sivov <bunglehead(a)gmail.com> wrote:

It's not a winetricks bug either, it doesn't set msi2 to native when install msxml6, you did that. Winetricks doesn't try to second guess the user, it does exactly what you tell it.

Reporting bugs *in* Winetricks
Winetricks has a bug tracking system at http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/issues/list though sending email to wine-devel at winehq.org is usually good enough.
Reporting issues here is fine, Dan and I will see them here, and it saves you trouble from registering on google code. Emailing me/Dan directly is also fine. -- -Austin
I'm not suggesting it's a *bug* in winetricks either. I'm saying it's a possible way to make it more robust. Since it's known that the native msi installer doesn't work, it seems reasonable to me that you'd set the override to use the builtin msi. This is similar to how it overrides the winver to win98 when installing mdac. It's a known "trick" to get it to install. How is this second guessing the user? --Troy -----Original Message----- From: Austin English [mailto:austinenglish(a)gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2010 11:48 AM To: Troy Wolbrink Cc: Andrew Nguyen; Nikolay Sivov; wine-devel(a)winehq.org Subject: Re: a new trick to add to winetricks On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 7:04 AM, Troy Wolbrink <Troy.Wolbrink(a)ccci.org> wrote:

By that logic, winetricks would need to set most dll's to native when installing _anything_, on the off chance that the user has overridden the builtin dll. -- -Austin
That's a good point, Austin. --Troy ________________________________ From: Austin English [mailto:austinenglish(a)gmail.com] Sent: Thu 4/8/2010 4:30 PM To: Troy Wolbrink Cc: Andrew Nguyen; Nikolay Sivov; wine-devel(a)winehq.org Subject: Re: a new trick to add to winetricks On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 3:26 PM, Troy Wolbrink <Troy.Wolbrink(a)ccci.org> wrote:
