Bug ID: 38761 Summary: Notation Software installation fails when Program Installation Folder is modified Product: Wine Version: 1.7.44 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: reinhold.hoffmann@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 51696 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=51696 Comparison of Windows and Wine installation
Hi Wine team,
we at Notation Software use VS2010 installer.
When the user modifies the standard Program Folder (target folder C:\Program Files (x86)) a new folder called "TempFolder" is created in the Program Folder and all temporary installation files go into that new folder. But the current temp folder setting for the installing user is still valid.
As a result the installation fails because the temp files are not installed in the users's temp folder but in that newly created folder which is called "TempFolder". Definitely this new folder "TempFolder" isn't the real temp folder.
Please see in the attached zip the files and according explanation:
(1) VS2010 Installer configuration file "VS2010_configuration_of_installation_folders.png" Comparison of the installation on Windows with the installation on Wine
(2) How the files end up on OpenSuse file "Folder_Setup_after_Installation_on_Wine.png"
As a workaround we give our customers the advice not to change the Program Folder. Then all works fine.
If siomeone wants to try that scenario our trial version can be downloaded from http://www.notation.com/DownloadComposerTrial.php Please modify the standard installation folder according to the screen shots (1), (2)
We see this wrong behaviour in all Linux versions of Wine 1.7.44 and Mac from Winebottler (Wine 1.7.37)
Best regards,
Reinhold
