Summary: Age of Empires 3 Trial installer puts native msxml4 in c:\SXS on wine Product: Wine Version: 1.3.5 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
On Windows, it does not create c:\sxs (but it does create a temporary directory somewhere else that gets cleaned up by sxs.dll?)
The +msi log shows in part
trace:msi:resolve_folder target -> L"C:\SXS\" trace:msi:msi_set_property 0x176058 L"WinSXS.21206420_6BA8_4CFB_A48C_C72A6BFE80C0" L"C:\SXS\"
which makes this seem like an msi problem?
I'll attach the fun "spybot search and destroy" window that alerted me to the temporary directory thing on XP.
