--- Comment #23 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2011-11-01 02:13:13 CDT --- That seems to help a lot. It now gets as far as trying to start a service. Like on Windows, this fails, but unlike on Windows, the error causes a fatal dialog right away (instead of a retry / cancel dialog, followed by a more fatal second service problem). I've uploaded a +msi,+seh,warn+heap log to http://kegel.com/wine/bug9444-log.txt.rz It seems there is a heap corruption, too, possibly from a custom action dll.
