Summary: Macromedia Studio 8 installer hangs Product: Wine Version: 0.9.44. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
To try installing Studio 8, you first have to work around a bug in the way the CD-ROM was mastered: they included rockridge extensions, but neglected to make files world-readable. This causes mysterious errors about not being able to run the installer: wine: could not load L"D:\install studio 8.exe": Module not found So you have to remount the cd-rom with the 'norock' option, e.g.: $ umount /media/cdrom $ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o norock
OK, on to the problem. Like Studio MX (see bug 9035), Studio 8's top level installer runs the installers of six or so apps. And like the earlier version, it hangs. But this hang is bad; it's on the end of the first app, and it it can't be solved by clicking "OK".
The hang occurs at the end of the Dreamweaver installation, right after it says "Publishing product information". The installer still responds to the mouse, but if you ask it to cancel, it keeps going, no matter how many times you say you want to cancel.
+process revealed the commandline used to invoke the problematic subinstaller. To reproduce with just the subinstaller, do wine msiexec.exe /i 'D:\fscommand\Macromedia_Dreamweaver_8.msi' MM_STUDIO=1 CREATEQUICKLAUNCHSHORTCUT=0 CREATEDESKTOPSHORTCUT=0 MACROMEDIA='c:\Program Files\Macromedia'
