Summary: MS Orca does not install Product: Wine Version: 0.9.14. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: alan@dominux.co.uk
MS Orca is a tool from the windows platform sdk, it can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=484269E2-3B89-47E3-...
or just get the orca package from the link on this MSDN blogger page http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/07/12/180792.aspx
Orca is for examining the database tables in a .msi install package, I wanted to use it to debug why the Lotus Notes 7 install does not work, but found that the Orca package had the same issue. The installer dumps some stuff in the root of .wine/drive_c/ because it fails to resolve directory names correctly. Some files in the package are incorrectly resolved to intall in c:\ and some files don't have a path at all and are skipped. I am going to continue tracing the problem, it is somewhere in helper.c or action.c in the msi dll folder I think.
