--- Comment #22 from David Eccles (gringer) winehq@gringer.org 2009-10-18 19:26:43 --- Hmm, that is strange. I get no crash when running the installer (for 1.5.2), and also when running from an extracted 7z file for 1.5.3, but it crashes from an extracted 7z file for 1.5.2.
[Using ubuntu budgetdedicated version of 1.1.31 on my Debian box, deleted my ~/.wine before doing the install]
i.e.: 1.5.2 (installer): works 1.5.2 (7z): crashes 1.5.3 (7z): works
an md5sum (and diff) suggests that I'm running the same executable files:
gringer@assimilis:~$ md5sum install/wine/kmeleon1.5.2/k-meleon*.exe d4042d3f67f8d39fdb79b679e2dfca3a install/wine/kmeleon1.5.2/k-meleon.exe 67347b2d902425dc1b79a651cf34cfd4 install/wine/kmeleon1.5.2/k-meleonW9x.exe gringer@assimilis:~$ md5sum .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/K-Meleon/k-meleon*.exe d4042d3f67f8d39fdb79b679e2dfca3a .wine/drive_c/Program Files/K-Meleon/k-meleon.exe gringer@assimilis:~$ diff -s .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/K-Meleon/k-meleon.exe install/wine/kmeleon1.5.2/k-meleon.exe Files .wine/drive_c/Program Files/K-Meleon/k-meleon.exe and install/wine/kmeleon1.5.2/k-meleon.exe are identical
Which suggests it is (now?) a problem with locating other files, rather than with the executable itself. I'll check to make sure 1.5.2 (7z) works on a Windows computer.
