Summary: pywin32 cannot be installed
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement

Pywin32-211 cannot be installed - it just eat 100% cpu and never finishes.

Wine ver: c959867510703a100106f292cd26cb8f489236bb (post 1.0-rc4)

Here are the steps how to reproduce it:

$ export WINEPREFIX=`pwd`/bug.pywin32
$ wget -c http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.2/python-2.5.2.msi
$ wget -c http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pywin32/pywin32-211.win32-py2.5.exe
$ wineboot -i
$ msiexec /i python-2.5.2.msi /qb

This initilizes wine instance and installs python into it.

Let's try to install pywin32:

$ wine pywin32-211.win32-py2.5.exe

Oops, it eats 100% cpu and spawns new and new processes (pid of pywin32.exe
changes) and never completes.

On Windows XP pywin32-211.win32-py2.5.exe installs fine.

Thanks beforehand.
