Summary: Visual C 2005 redistributable installers create many empty directories in WinSXS Product: Wine Version: 1.1.27 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: paulc@voip.null.ro
Attempting to install various versions of VS 2005 vcredist_x86.exe in a fresh prefix creates directories in WinSXS for all versions described by the policies.
Only the directory for the current version (described by the manifest) has DLL files in it, all others are empty.
Attempting to fix the installation triggers bug # 18834
