--- Comment #16 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2011-06-14 10:15:37 CDT --- Hello,
again ... different issues mixed here. There is no msxml problem here.
Making this bug about copy protection. All other issues are tracked separately!
Please retest using original media and recent Wine version!
Run "ProtectionID" tool (http://pid.gamecopyworld.com/) on the main binaries (*.exe, *.dll) to identify exact copy protection. Copy/paste the output of the log window here - only executables that have been flagged containing protection.
See this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27349 for examples what kind of information is relevant from "Protection ID".
The demo version is protected with SecuROM 7.x (works):
