Louis is correct about the cause of the problem. WhatsApp stops the installation if you run the installer with administrator rights. The installer also tries to explain this:
0042:Call KERNEL32.lstrlenW(00423cd0 L"Please re-run this installer as a normal user instead of "Run as Administrator".") ret=0040253e
which is most probably not shown because of the incomplete implementation of TaskDialogIndirect (see bug 34850).
There is not much we can do about this now. Changing the value will break a lot of other applications which would need administrator rights for the installation. The correct way to solve this would require implementing something like UAC in Wine.
Hi Michael,
I am confused about why WhatsApp can be installed by normal user but can't be installed by Administrator? I think Administrator have more privilege to install application. And I don't understand why most application can be installed by Administrator just this application can be installed by normal user? What's the different between WhatsApp and other applications?
Does this bug message(0042:Call KERNEL32.lstrlenW(00423cd0 L"Please re-run this installer as a normal user instead of "Run as Administrator".") ret=0040253e) is the primary reason cause WhatsApp crashed？
I hope to receive your favors at early date. Thanks very much.
