--- Comment #4 from Chad Sikorra chad.sikorra@gmail.com 2008-03-18 20:26:04 --- Ok, I did a bit more testing on it and to my amusement I could no longer get the installer to launch correctly by simply installing .net framework 1.1 or 2.
I did get it working if I used winetricks to install dcom98 on a fresh wine directory. I also needed to install MDAC 2.7 and set it to native for the application to start up correctly after being installed.
Now when the application tries to actually load I get a "dead lock" error in my wine output and the application crashes. However, this issue is now long removed from the original issue.
