Summary: Wine should be able to run/execute/install MSI files directly Product: Wine Version: 1.1.33 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: loader AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: t.artem@mailcity.com
Right now if you
$ wine package.msi
it will just
"Segmentation fault"
I believe, since msiexec is hidden under $PREFIX/lib/wine/msiexec.exe.so and can only be run via "wine msiexec /i installer.msi" (which is at best very tiresome), it would be much more convenient just to automatically call MSI installer if wine itself is called with .MSI package as the only argument.
