[Bug 14140] New: Entropia Universe installer hangs

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14140

Summary: Entropia Universe installer hangs
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.project-entropia.com
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The current installer,
94aaad630331ce64c219f45e31175f913e9ba402  entropia_installer.exe
goes into a loop forever, scanning backwards from the end
of the commandline, but not hitting its expected termination condition.

You can watch this with

WINEDEBUG=+relay ~/wine-git/wine entropia_installer.exe
grep Call.*strcmp log

Interestingly, it compares each char to both / and .
And if you pass /, it gets happy and compares against u.
Passing /u makes it really happy, and it shows a ui briefly.
It seems to install a few files, then exits.

It should have launched the real downloader, 
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MindArk/Entropia Universe/ClientLoader.exe
Running that by hand downloads a bunch of stuff, then exits.
I think it's supposed to run
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MindArk/Entropia Universe/Entropia.exe
When you do this by hand, wine complains

err:module:find_forwarded_export function not found for forward
'd3dx8.D3DXGetImageInfoFromFileA' used by
L"C:\windows\system32\d3dx9_36.dll". If you are using builtin
L"d3dx9_36.dll", try using the native one instead.

and exits.  Doing winetricks directx9 wmp10 gets around this.

Entropia then puts up a window very briefly, then quits.
If you then do winetricks vcrun2005sp1, you get bug 14137
(i.e. the app loads msvcp80 wrong and exits).
