--- Comment #4 from barret@markmcb.com 2012-08-25 14:27:35 CDT --- Based on some other comments about awesomium, I tried my old .wine directory again where I had a few winetricks installed, figuring that the original PF in launchpad was farther along in the install process. Eventually I was able to get the installer to work, at least up to the point where it is downloading the game.
On the older .wine, I tried running the installer as Vista (instead of XP), then Windows 2008, and then Windows 7. It still didn't work (failing in the same place), but when I went back to XP, the installer no longer crashes and seems to work okay. I don't know which of those things helped.
The installer still has the same console errors (pasted below) as it did when it crashed. One of those errors led me to http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=16015, which is where I got the idea to try different Windows versions.

For winetricks in my .wine, I have ie8, vcrun2005, vcrun2008, vcrun2010, corefonts, droid, fontfix, fontsmooth-rgb, gdiplus, gecko, allfonts, d3dx9, d3dx10, win7 installed.
If people are interested and have any suggestions on what to try, I can play around with the installer on a fresh .wine with some winetricks and try to figure out why changing the version briefly enabled the install to work on XP. Otherwise, we can wait til the actual game comes out.
