--- Comment #2 from Holly holly.n.schilling@gmail.com 2009-01-24 18:28:47 --- I can confirm this bug. I'm using Kubuntu 8.10 with Wine 1.1.13. I last used the installer with version 1.1.11 and it worked. I'm working on digging through the git repository to find the cause.

--- Comment #3 from Holly holly.n.schilling@gmail.com 2009-01-25 09:08:17 --- So after a hard day of regression testing, I can't replicate it anymore. It seems that once it passes the first time, it won't fail again. It must be somehow related the setup of the Wine environment or a temp file I can't find to delete.
I'm going to try regression testing again but dumping my entire .wine folder every time to see if that helps me to replicate it again. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until next weekend probably.

--- Comment #4 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2009-07-30 12:15:43 --- Is this still an issue in current (1.1.26 or newer) wine?

--- Comment #5 from Holly holly.n.schilling@gmail.com 2009-08-11 11:13:23 --- As of yesterday, it works almost perfect. I did a clean installation on Ubuntu 8.04. Only packages I installed other than the base install were the current (unstable) Wine 1.1.27 and Ubuntu-restricted-extras.
I say almost perfect because there was a minor issue installing the Gecko HTML engine. For reasons I did not dig into, it would not install automatically while the installer was running. I instead went to Bash and executed "wine iexplore" and it loaded easily. I then restarted the installation and it went flawless from there on.
Between this and my testing earlier, I believe this is a "first-run" issue more than anything else. When I did regression testing, I was unable to replicate the problem after the first time it worked. Even after deleting everything from the ~/.wine/drive_c folder that was related to WoW.
My view would be to mark this resolved, but keep this thread here so that if it is a first-run bug, others can see to just install the Gecko HTML engine manually by running "wine iexplore" from Bash.

--- Comment #9 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2009-08-31 08:13:04 --- (In reply to comment #8) Looks like you ran it from mount mounted with "noexec" - not Wine problem at all.
