Oliver I think you had a patch for this? Care to share it here?
It was only a hack. It did not pass Windows conformance tests and broke other things.
I continued to track down the error leaking sources. I have patches that fixes 3 wine bugs. With those patches, the installer succeeds.
If there are files left over from a previous install attempt, the installer will still fail. Cleaning the game directory works around this. Maybe it was the way it worked on actual Windows. I can't remember.
I will submit the patches soon.
