--- Comment #14 from Robert Riches rm.riches@jacob21819.net --- I'm not sure whether I'll be able to test it with Wine 1.7.43, but I did get a little information that I hope might be useful in the mean time:
The installer had indeed changed since I had last downloaded it Sept. 1, 2013:
old, Sept. 1, 2013 version, SHA1: e9c27c2e877d3e44700d72c25038d58d1794d936 new (May 24, 2014) version, SHA1: 40aa38305ec0ee17d7913718dff73c814478f9f6
The latest Wine versions I had readily available are 1.6.2 and 1.7.13. All four combinations of Wine versions and application installer versions yielded the same results. Installation appears to succeed with all of them. This is a significant improvement since the last time I had tried to install this application. However, after installation, the application failed to run properly for me.
Executable .../drive_c/'Program Files'/'Intellectual Reserve/LDS View 7.1/wcUSView.exe' yielded a dialog that said, "No library could be installed. The software cannot continue."
Executable .../drive_c/'Program Files'/'Intellectual Reserve/LDS View 7.1/wcUView.exe' yielded a window with a black background. Some of the decoration I would have expected appeared to be absent. (I don't have Windows, so I can't make a full comparison of what decoration should be visible.) The console shows many repetitions of messages of this form:
fixme:gdiplus:GdipCreateBitmapFromGdiDib (0x32f488, 0x15b0000, 0x32f4cc) - partially implemented
Of course, those run-time problems are separate from this installation-time bug report.
For full disclosure, it is possible my results might be tainted by a missing library or two on my current operating system installation. I have not tested anything with Wine in a few years, and package upgrades might have caused some changes.
(My excuse for being absent from continuing testing of this application is the five applications/versions I had been maintaining have all become essentially obsolete (even on Windows itself), there had been no response for some months to notes that I planned to suspend maintenance of those AppDB pages, so I had got out of the habit of compiling and testing new versions of Wine.)
