Summary: Platfrom SDK fails to install because of unhandled msiexec option Product: Wine Version: 0.9.15. Platform: All URL: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID =a55b6b43-e24f-4ea3-a93e-40c0ec4f68e5&DisplayLang=en OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: truiken@gmail.com
Running wine PSDK_x86.exe brings up a splash screen, then wine's msiexec prints out it's legal usage. A +process log shows that the setup is trying to call msiexec like so:
msiexec -i "http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/5/f/a5f0d781-e201-4ab6-8c6a-9bb4efe..."
As of now, msiexec does not handle the -i option, and changing it to /i doesn't work because we don't try to download the msi file. Testing is required to determine the behavior of the -i option (unless it's already known). In any case, we need to implement downloading of msi files if they are not local.
