Summary: unable to install Windows version of matlab v7.0.4 with
                    Wine
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.11.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have a Fedora Core 4 box running Wine v0.9.11 built from source.  This is a
pure Linux box, not Linux-Windows dual boot.  I'm trying to install a Windows
version of matlab v7.0.4 (Release 14/service pack 3) through Wine so that I can
run a complicated set of matlab m files which invoke Windows exe's and a DLL.

Wine fails quickly on trying to run the matlab installer "setup.exe" program.

I first copied the three matlab cdroms to the Linux file system, then with
winecfg assigned a drive letter to that directory.  Then I issued the command
> wine E:/Windows/7.0.4/cdrom1/setup.exe

The MathWorks splash screen for matlab v7 comes up which is encouraging. 
However a few seconds later the Java error
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException appears followed by a popup with

"Exception calling main."  [OK]

Notes:
1. I doubt this install problem is matlab-version specific.  If anyone can
   get this to work with matlab v7.2 or matlab v2006a then I will switch to
   those versions.
2. Trial versions of matlab may be had from
