Bug #: 31232 Summary: The Way Things Work 2.0 installer froze after finished copying files Product: Wine Version: 1.1.21 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Nachanon_Vetjasit@hotmail.com Classification: Unclassified Regression SHA1: 54d7c8012d1d7369a56779955ced5a09e448a1cd
When started The Way Things Work 2.0 installer (setup.exe), the setup proceeds normally, through the welcome screen, quicktime installer prompt (though QuickTime 16bit 2.1.1 installation didn't work [bug #18260]), installation options (express/custom), files copying progress window.
But as soon as the file copying window disappeared, the installer froze, no screen repainting, no message from WINE's console. (Normally this stage should be creating program groups and ends at the 'Setup Complete' window)

With WINE before this commit, the installation would continue, with WINE's Program Manager (progman) popped up with a dialog from the setup program: "Unable to start DDE communication with Program Manager." [Abort/Retry/Ignore] If clicked 'Ignore' (aka. continue despite the error), this step will be repeated for another five time, each time leaving one Program Manager window opened (6 window total at the end). And finished with 'Setup Complete' window.
Note: The Way Things Work is a 16-bit application, and supports Windows 3.1. Tested using WINE's Windows version 98.
WINE: wine-1.1.21 source distribution System: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" i386 (Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz)
