--- Comment #2 from Andrzej Novak novakyu@novakyu.net 2009-05-31 01:36:35 --- Yes, I do get that error. Starting from fresh, or rather, no, .wine directory, I get,
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
when I try to run WinGizmoInstall.exe with wine, or when I run wineboot separately on its own. If I go through the steps that fixed the installation problem (i.e. run winecfg and select some OS version), the problem with wineboot also goes away.
