Bug ID: 49140
           Summary: Regression: Windows 7 Platform SDK installer hangs on
                    startup
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.8
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

I tried to install the Windows 7 Platform SDK, and the installer just hangs on
the startup blue logo screen in some sort of infinite loop, burning one CPU
core at 100% for hours without making progress.

Since there are reports of Wine 3.2 successfully installing and running it on
AppDB:

I tried that too. It immediately gets further, opening a dialog where you
select paths.

Clearly, a regression. Git bisect in progress.
