[Bug 12506] New: Office 97 installer fails with "unable to open...Off97Pro. stf'

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12506

Summary: Office 97 installer fails with "unable to
                    open...Off97Pro.stf'
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Installer
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

It worked several days ago, but today on a fresh hardy update
and a fresh wine from git or 0.9.59 from hardy apt-get install, it
fails quickly with

Setup is unable to open the data file 'C:~MSSETUP.T~msstfof.t\Off97Pro.stf';
run Setup again from where you originally ran it."

This happens even though I can read the file Off96Pro.stf on the
cdrom.  Oddly, adding +file or running under strace gets past that
-- but as soon as you enter your license key, it pops up again.

Copying that file manually right before entering the license key
gets a bit further, but not too much.

Other apps (PS 7, PS CS2) install fine.

Please run a regression test:

I don't know that it's a regression.  
The app seems fine on current git on my Compaq Presario running Gutsy.
It's only my lenovo x60 running Hardy Beta that's screwy.

Going back to prepackaged wine-0.9.58 (for gutsy, since there are no 
hardy builds of it) didn't help.

I tried a clean build with an older compiler 
(i.e. sudo aptitude install gcc-4.1; CC=gcc-4.1 ./configure ; make clean; make
depend ; make)
but it didn't help either.

In all cases, wineprefixcreate crashes on this machine.

Since both my wine and the prepackaged Hardy wine break for me
on this machine, either something's wrong with Hardy, or something's
wrong with my machine.  Time to put Gutsy back on the machine.
I doubt it's Wine's fault per se.
