------- Additional Comments From mcbridematt@hotmail.com 2002-09-10 02:02 ------- Sorry for that. I downloaded IE 5.5 setup and it had that problem in there to, and microsoft claims IE 5.5 does run on Windows 95 (which wine returns from IpGetProfileString16).
I remember that the original IE5 installer did work, but failed to install IE itself.

Notice IpGetProfileString16 returns $Chicago$, which is the codename for Windows 95 and which Windows 95 uses to identify itself. (also appears in INF files)
Searching for some answers, I looked to the wine debugger: $ winedbg ie6setup.exe --debugmsg +relay
then backtraced: Wine-dbg>bt Backtrace: =>0 0x400e2853 (start_process+0x2a3 [process.c] in libntdll.dll.so) (ebp=405c6f2 8) 1 0x400e7bbe (call_on_thread_stack+0x8e [sysdeps.c] in libntdll.dll.so) (ebp=4 05c6ff4) 2 0x400e7d5c (SYSDEPS_CallOnStack+0x14 in libntdll.dll.so) (ebp=00000000)

Ie6setup killed itself, then wine's own debugger made an exception, and opened gdb: (gdb) #0 0x402f1bf1 in ?? () (gdb) #1 0x404c7a42 in ?? () (gdb) #2 0x404e11b1 in ?? () (gdb) #3 0x400f2848 in ??
