Maybe the installer does different stuff for XP/7? I tried changing the regional options to English (different decimal separator), it does not work too.
Maybe. I tried setting the emulated windows version to vista in wine and that allows the installation to proceed. With windows 7, it fails though.
Could just be luck again, though.
