------- Additional Comments From mk144210@bcm.tmc.edu 2007-28-01 00:28 ------- Ok, so to make this bug easy to debug, I would recommend just downloading my installation script
http://misha680.googlepages.com/InstallVectorNTI10.sh
and commenting out the section that downloads native MSI, as there are a few others problems in the installation that one would have to bypass to get to the MSI error (basically the installer tries to install a bunch of things like MDAC, etc., and each time it reboots, leaving a .lnk file in the StartUp section of the Start Menu, but since wine never runs this file it just stops; also it seems the .lnk file references rundll32.exe not in the path but rather in the current directory, which usually doesn't exist, I don't know if this is an installer bug or a wine bug).
