Summary: Unable to Install .msp Files Product: Wine Version: 1.0.0 Platform: PC URL: see Description OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: pbronline-wine@yahoo.co.uk
Here is a sample trace ...
$ WINEDEBUG=trace+msiexec msiexec /p WPOX3_SP1_EN.msp trace:msiexec:main argvW[1] = L"/p" trace:msiexec:main argvW[2] = L"WPOX3_SP1_EN.msp"
That's all folks !
First I thought I had what was described in http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=8457#8457. However, I think
fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030003 for L"/home/lex/Downloads/Windows/WP12OSP2/WP12SP2EN.msp"
means 'file not found'. I tried a patch to a copy of my WPO12 installation and msiexec seemed as happy as larry. (I confess I tried SP1, not SP2 ... see below).
I did as Dan Kegel suggested and tried WINEDEBUG=+msi+msidb to my problem and got no output at all. I thought this meant 'application not installed'. After all, if there is nothing to patch then there is nothing to say.
So I made some trials ...
I have a wine skin with WPO12 (WPO = WordPerfect Office) installed and another with WPOX3 installed. I have three msp Service Packs for WPO12 and two for WPOX3.
As expected, attempting to install any service pack on the wrong installation gave no trace beyond confirming the parameters as shown above.
For WPO12, SP1 was happy, SP2 was silent and SP3 was happy enough but told me either the application wasn't installed or it was at the wrong patch level. Fair enough.
For WPOX3, SP1 was silent while the hot fix for SP2 was happy (though unintelligible due to a font issue I'm still looking into).
So it seems that the silence must have some other explanation.
My Wine trials were with XP emulation. WPOX3 and its service packs have been installed under both native W2K (SP4) Professional and WXP (SP2) Home. WPO12 and its service packs were used under native W98 and possibly W2K (SP4) Professional.
As for links where you can download this stuff (I'd doubt the Service Packs apply to Trial Versions)
WPOX3 Trial Version: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=uk/ProcessLayout&lc=en&a...
WPOX3 Service Packs: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Content/1153321224268?pid=12087...
I believe I have "Hot Patch - English: Security Update" and "Service Pack 1 - English". Service Pack 2 seems to be an .exe. file.
WPO12 Trial Version: See bug 2547
WPO12 Service Packs: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Content/1153321224268?pid=12087...
I have the English versions of Service Packs 1, 2 and 3.
The whole lot will set you back 600+ Mb download. You'll need a Gb to install WPOX3 and half that for WPO12.
