wine-1.1.11: DPP 3.4.1 installer crashes. DPP 3.5.1 installer executes, but later it crashes during installation with following error: [...]
The crash in 3.4.1 has been around a long time (both in terms of DPP versions and wine versions). I tried looking into it several months ago and got as far as seeing it was due to win32 function GetForegroundWindow() returning NULL when the installer doesn't expect it.
I can get the function not to return null if I click on my (linux) desktop while the installer is extracting its files (the very first window that comes up, with only a label and a progress bar). If I do it before file extraction is over, the installer will not crash.
So it looks like a case of the window manager focus handling behavior spilling over the win32 side of things and causing a state which does not occur on native windows. Note that I have done very little win32 UI and no linux UI at all so I could be way off ;)
Now the crash in 3.5.1 is much further during installation and appears to be something else. Looks like they (whoever makes the installer) fixed the initial crash but changed something else which triggered another one.
