--- Comment #3 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2010-06-29 15:24:02 --- While doing wine WoW-3.3.0.10958-to-3.3.0.11159-enUS-downloader.exe to mimic what I think the autoupdate is doing (it left that exe there), I saw:
fixme:mshtml:nsHttpChannelInternal_SetDocumentURI (0x29d9c60)->() fixme:mshtml:nsChannel_SetReferrer (0x29d9c60)->(0x29a2210) fixme:mshtml:nsURI_GetUserPass default action not implemented fixme:mshtml:nsURL_GetQuery default action not implemented fixme:mshtml:nsURI_GetUserPass default action not implemented fixme:mshtml:nsURL_GetRef default action not implemented 0[15f3c0]: file (null), line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception...

Perhaps that's related. 'winetricks ie6' seems to work around this, and let the patch apply.
