--- Comment #6 from Holly Bostick aka.motub@gmail.com 2010-03-14 09:08:12 --- Issue persists in wine 1.1.40.
A completely clean .wine folder does not resolve.
I have successfully installed PK_BE from the same DVD on a separate Windows computer, so the issue is not with my DVD or DVD key input.
I have also installed successfully from the same DVD on the Windows dual-boot remaining on my Linux PC, so the issue is not my keyboard.
Restatement of the issue: While installing Painkiller Black Edition, I input the DVD key and press 'Enter'. The Enter key (neither the main key nor the numpad key) does not register to the CD-Key Validation application window as pressed. Because the Enter key is never recognized as pressed to confirm and complete submission of the CD-Key, the key is not submitted for validation, and the install can/will not proceed until key validation occurs. The main installer window (PKBE_Setup.exe) can be cancelled normally (the 'Cancel' button is still visible behind the CD-Key Validation window) but the CD-Key validation window (PKBE.exe), having no buttons, can not be exited other than by killing the application in the System Monitor.
Still hoping for a confirmation of the issue (and hopefully a fix thereafter). The install does not have to be completed (once the CD-Key is validated and the files begin to copy, one can cancel)-- I would just like someone to attempt the install and confirm or refute that when the key is input and Enter is pressed, whether pressing the Enter key succeeds in submitting the CD-Key to the validation window, which it does not for me under Wine (though it does under Windows).
