--- Comment #4 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-08-26 11:22:18 --- Roy's patches are in, as are Hans' winhttp patches, so the simplified recipe is now
0. Patch today's git with Louis' reposted shlwapi patches: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-August/060121.html http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-August/060122.html
1. Download livelysetup.exe 220aba6d869e5c52428c7efbd249d7c89e95e77b livelysetup.exe
2. Run livelysetup.exe. It tries for a minute, then rather confusingly complains of not being able to connect to the internet, probably because it's using msxml3 to save the URL it's trying to connect to.
3. Verify that msxml3 rescues lively installer by copying msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll from windows xp to system32, and use winecfg to override msxml3. Lively installer now downloads the real installer properly. (If you want that to succeed, you also need winetricks directx9 to get one registry setting.)
