Bug ID: 45919 Summary: Installation of msi file fails after a former uninstallation Product: Wine Version: 3.17 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: reinhold.hoffmann@hotmail.com Distribution: Ubuntu
With Wine 3.17 a regression bug came in. For certain msi files the installation fails in a sequence of the following steps:
Sequence: --------- (1) installation of msi file - Result: OK (2) uninstall same app with "Wine uninstaller" (with Remove) - Result: OK, app gets uninstalled (3) installation of same msi file as in (1) - Result: ERROR: Installation Incomplete (4) installation of same msi file as in (1) - Result: OK
Observation: ------------ In step (3) the installation fails but performing the same installation again (step (4)), it is successfull. It looks as if in step (2) something does not get properly uninstalled and as a result the next installation fails. But with this failed installation in step (3) the clean-up finally happens and the installation in step (4) is successful.
Performing the same sequence with msiexec debug logging is always OK.
In Wine-3.16 as well as in previous versions this installation sequnece had worked perfect. So, I conclude that with 3.17 a regression bug came in. (not sure if this issue is related to the fix of Bug 41325)
I will try to add more verbose data (comparison of Wine-3.16 vs. Wine-3.17) in order to fully understand the bug.
