Installing it triggered the recently added crash handler in msi: err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction Custom action (L"C:\windows\temp\msi11f7.tmp":L"MDAC28Win2KInstallerFix") caused a page fault: c0000005 but that's ok, I bet we don't need that fix.
The installer also complained about a missing mfc40.dll, so I installed that with winetricks mfc40.
There were still four missing modules: err:module:import_dll Library sfcfiles.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\home\dank\syssetup.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library CRYPTUI.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\home\dank\syssetup.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library mswstr10.dll (which is needed by L"C:\windows\system32\MSJET40.DLL") not found err:module:import_dll Library WINHTTP.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\Common Files\MSSoap\Binaries\WHSC30.dll") not found
but the installer ran to completion.
The app seemed to hang on startup. Pressing ^C got past that, and into a license key dialog. (I may have had to install native msxml3 to get there the first time.) Pasting in the license key from the trial download email went ok, but the app then seemed to barf trying to use SOAP to contact its license server. It then offers to let you phone the company for an activation key.
So that's two problems: having to press ^C, and not being able to contact the license server.
