------- Additional Comments From mk144210@bcm.tmc.edu 2007-18-02 16:54 ------- I am now 100% confident that the failure to install all files with Wine's built-in MSI is due to the inability to run the JScript script ExpandFeatList. Simple test for this is as follows:
1. wineprefixcreate 2. Install IE6 from Microsoft (installs cleanly when in Win2k mode which is wine default, IE6 needed by MDAC and also conveniently installs MS Scripting) 3. Switch to win98 mode and install native MSI as described in instructions on wiki. 4. Now download the Vector NTI installer indicated by the above URL. 5. Let it get to the part where it starts installing its required Microsoft components, and asks you to reboot itself. 6. Before pressing ok, remove jscript.dll from .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/jscript.dll and also from .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/dllcache/jscript.dll (at this point the OrderAction6 script has already been run and won't be run again). 7. Now press ok and keep on going with the installation. Eventually it will give you a popup "Internal Error 2739. ExpandFeatList" 8. Now _don't click ok_ as this will uninstall everything, go to .wine/drive_c/Program Files/Invitrogen and look at the files there. They _exactly_ match the files installed by Wine's MSI which ignores the ExpandFeatList JScript script.
Hope this helps.
