--- Comment #10 from RobertC kl234@web.de 2009-12-15 12:00:24 --- I would like to suggest a possible explanation for the problem: I believe the serial number and authorization keys are arroneously converted to uppercase when trying to install Delphi 6 under wine, because:
- those credentials are case sensitive and seems to be always lower case (entering them in uppercase in Windows causes them to be rejected with the same error message as in wine);
- if I enter the serial number and authorization key in Windows and then click on the Back button, then on the Next button, I see again this information as I typed it: in lowercase;
- if I do exactly the same test in wine (version 1.1.34), I see that my information was converted to UPPERCASE!
This let me believe that, althought my credentials are displayed correctly (in lowercase) while I type them, wine may convert them internally to uppercase and pass this incorrect strings to the validation routine of the Delphi installer, which can only reject them.
