--- Comment #35 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2009-05-14 07:47:44 --- Hello,
there is no need to discuss this further. The problem and possible solution has already been described in bug 18070 Even if it looks like a regression to you, Wine's previous approach was wrong.
Looking back in Wine history, it started with bug 8945 where I drew incorrect conclusion which introduced the default creation of COM apartment in MSI CAs. It helped Adobe CS3/4 at that time but it was technically incorrect.
Currently, the issue of MSI custom actions and MTAs is only partly fixed - hence it still fails. Though don't know if someone is working on it...
Regards
