Thanks for the patch. The installation runs without any error messages and ends with a success message.
But the installed programs (I tried excel) are not usable. Excel crashes after confirming the first dialogboxes, just when I move to another cell. There are no debug information or any debug trace left in the terminal.
So something is not set up right, which was set up right, when the installation was made under wine 1.2.
How do you know the installation is to blame? Have you verified that an installation made with 1.2 runs properly on Wine 1.5.3?
Yes the installation made with Wine 1.2 runs properly under 1.5.3. I had the same problem with Wine 1.3.XX and was only able to get a working installation with Wine 1.2. So I stored this wineprefix for further usage.
How can this debuged?
You could try a regression test. It may take a long time to bisect between 1.2 and 1.5.3, so you should try to narrow it down first by installing intermediate Wine releases.
In any case, please open a new bug for this.
OK, I will do, if I find time for the regression test. Thanks again.
