The problem is in our handling of the WriteEnvironmentStrings action.  This
action can't be tested, so I'm surprised that this is one of the only few bugs
we've had for it.  Can you please attach a +msi,+msidb log?

$ WINEDEBUG=+msi,+msidb wine gmax12.exe >& /tmp/msi.log

MSI: Debug Log.

I ran the code, it produced a 30MB debug of MSI. Looks complicated, lol. It is
compressed to 1MB and attached.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.13 or newer) wine?

Minor differences, but still the same bug in wine 1.1.13

Just tested on Wine 1.1.13
At least it appears to have installed now, even though it crashed on the same
error as before.

A new 1.1.13 MSI debug if you need it.

Environment table data, exported with ORCA (above msidb record):

--- snip ---
Environment     Name    Value   Component_
s72     l255    L255    s72
Environment     Environment
GMAXLOC GMAXLOC [INSTALLDIR]    Registry
--- snip ---

The "Name" column -> "GMAXLOC" has no prefix (hence Wine's env_set_flags()
fails) but this seems also valid even if MSDN doesn't explicitly mention it.

You could try to run the installer in Windows with msi verbose logging enabled
(usually "voicewarmup", google for it) and dig through the msi log(s).
There should be WriteEnvironmentStrings action logged which might give hints if
and how this case is handled.

Seeing the same under wine 1.18.
I'll do my best to produce Windows installer results. (I'll have to install
Windows on a VM first...)

Hello,

thanks for the +voicewarmup MSI log from Windows.

--- snip ---
...
MSI (s) (98:78) [08:36:39:484]: Executing op:
ActionStart(Name=WriteEnvironmentStrings,Description=Updating environment
strings,Template=Name: [1], Value: [2], Action [3])
Action 8:36:39: WriteEnvironmentStrings. Updating environment strings
MSI (s) (98:78) [08:36:39:500]: Executing op:
ProgressTotal(Total=1,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=13200)
MSI (s) (98:78) [08:36:39:500]: Executing op:
UpdateEnvironmentStrings(Name=GMAXLOC,Value=D:\gmax,Delimiter=[~],Action=1,)
WriteEnvironmentStrings: Name: GMAXLOC, Value: D:\gmax, Action 1
...
--- snip ---

So it just shows the stuff I dumped with Orca and no failure is recorded.
The interesting value here is "Action 1".

This blog (WiX) gives an overview about MSI's prefixes and suffixes for
Environment table:
http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/03/28/from-msi-to-wix-part-13...

In the "Name" column for the "*" prefix, a missing "*" indicates "User
environment variable".
In the "Name" column for the "-" prefix, a missing "-" indicates "Do not remove
environment variable on uninstall."

My conclusion is that "name" without prefix is a user environment variable.
To be really sure can you look with registry editor in your Windows
installation (after app install) in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
There should be a registry key named "GMAXLOC" present.

Add conformance test for non-prefix case and fix Wine msi env_set_flags()
accordingly (introduce another flag or let flags == 0 valid case).

Regards
