--- Comment #1 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-08-25 21:01:36 --- This is still an issue with today's git. Here's a recipe for reproducing:
0. Patch today's git with Roy's last two mstask patches http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-August/059937.html http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-August/059938.html and Louis' reposted shlwapi patches: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-August/060090.html http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-August/060091.html
1. Download livelysetup.exe 220aba6d869e5c52428c7efbd249d7c89e95e77b livelysetup.exe
2. rm -rf .wine, run wineprefixcreate, copy windows xp's winhttp.dll to system32
3. Run livelysetup.exe. It rather confusingly complains of not being able to connect to the internet, probably because it's using msxml3 to save the URL it's trying to connect to. (See lively.log in attached tarball.)
4. Verify that msxml3 rescues lively installer by copying msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll from windows xp to system32, and use winecfg to override msxml3. Lively installer now succeeds (see lively2a.log, ending in a line that indicates it's receiving data from winhttp).
