Summary: Dredd vs. Death will not install Product: Wine Version: 1.0-rc2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sam@robots.org.uk
Trying to run the games' Setup.exe yields the following error:
"Internal Failure: Error Number: 0x80040707; Description:"
The installer will proceed up to the point where it would copy files, but there it displays this error:
"Component Transfer Error: Unknown error"
and then exits.
According to http://consumerdocs.installshield.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=Q108167&sliceId=1 this is because the paths mentioned in the keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Shell Folders" do not exist. After I created "~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Desktop" and "~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Start Menu/Programs/Startup", the installation completed without error.
So Wine should create these directories by default, and/or amend the values of those registry keys.
