Installer never crashes in any of the failure or success scenarios, but it does indeed exhibit the same infinite looping behavior when started from cmd.exe with any command line that doesn't contain a backslash.
Er, I meant to specify, "on windows does it crash if you use cmd.exe instead of explorer". Alexandre committed his fix from the other bug report, but I'm not sure I see the reasoning behind it if the same crash also occurs on Windows.
If the idea is to make 'wine foo.exe' the same as running foo.exe from explorer on Windows then the quoting behavior that start /Unix provides should also be present I think.
