Summary: Windows 7 Platform SDK default install fails Product: Wine Version: 1.1.37 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
If you try to install the Windows 7 Platform SDK without disabling some of the options, it fails. The log shows
12:48:46 PM Thursday, February 04, 2010: SFX C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Setup\SFX\vcredist_x64.exe installation started with log file C:\users\dank\Temp\Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7_39e84b45-3dea-4c93-b469-0bba41d4286c_SFX.log 12:48:48 PM Thursday, February 04, 2010: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Setup\SFX\vcredist_x64.exe installation failed with return code 193
and the console log shows err:process:create_process starting 64-bit process L"C:\135afb88bfaba38f6bfd6047\install.exe" not supported on this platform
You can get the latter error by running visual c++ 2008 64 bit runtime redist installer yourself.
So why is the installer, on a 32 bit wine, trying to run a 64 bit installer?
