Summary: Latest version of "Publish or Perish" die with wine
                    sxs.dll
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.15
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Latest versions of "Publish or Perish", namely 2.6.something (see
http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm), cannot be installed on wine.
Former versions, namely 2.5.something used to be installable just fine.

Problem may be either in PoP (i.e., new versions installers use features of
windows that are not supported in wine) or in wine itself (namely wine might
not be able anymore to run the PoP installer). In the latter case we would be
facing a regression.

Problem is limited to the wine implementation of sxs.dll.
Using a native sxs.dll PoP installs.

Once PoP is installed it runs even if the native sxs.dll is removed.

This would be nice to fix because the PoP site greatly advertises wine, so it
is a shame that the positive feeling about wine that the site communicates gets
immediately spoilt by the broken installer.
