------- Additional Comments From dank@kegel.com 2006-07-06 00:30 ------- I tried it just now, and didn't see the "install fails" bug. I did see three problems:
1. As EA Durbin noted, after the unzip finishes, it tries to launch the app, but fails. But the name it tries to launch is triali~1.exe. (It does this even on Windows XP.) Wine can't find the file: 0009:Call kernel32.SearchPathW(00000000,7fd644c8 L"triali~1.exe",7fa45480 L".exe",00000100,7fb9d69c,00000000) ret=7fa22695 ... 0009:Call ntdll.RtlDosSearchPath_U(7fd64c28 L"Z:\home\dank\installers;.;c:\windows\system32;c:\windows\system;c:\windows;",7fd644c8 L"triali~1.exe",7fa45480 L".exe",00000200,7fb9d69c,00000000) ret=7fc582ba trace:file:RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U (L"Z:\home\dank\installers\triali~1.exe",0x7fb9c444,(nil),(nil)) trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L"Z:\home\dank\installers\triali~1.exe" 520 0x7fb9c204 (nil)) warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"triali~1.exe" not found in /home/dank/.wine/dosdevices/z:/home/dank/installers trace:file:RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U (L".\triali~1.exe",0x7fb9c444,(nil),(nil)) trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L".\triali~1.exe" 520 0x7fb9c204 (nil)) warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"triali~1.exe" not found in /home/dank/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp
which is wrong (unless we really don't support short names anymore).
2. Microsoft text-to-speech wasn't installed at all, or at least, it didn't give me a choice of whether to install it, like it does under real Windows.
3. When you run the app, you get a big blue screen that pops in front of everything, and you can't quit (except with ctl-alt-backspace). This has been happening since Jan 2005, see http://www.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2005-January/msg00590.html
So it's pretty much no joy for me here. Guess I'll try installing as winxp and see if that helps.
