[Bug 11598] New: DAZ: New style of 3D content installer from DAZ fails

Summary: DAZ: New style of 3D content installer from DAZ fails
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.53.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The new version of the Victoria 4 model, namely Victoria 4.2, has a different
windows executable installer than previous content files from this vendor.
Previous content installers worked without problems. The content is intended
for use in Poser
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=115) and DAZ
Studio (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1998).
The Victoria 4.2 installer exits with the message "Error reading INI file in
\DAZ\dzInstall.ini" in a dialog box, preventing the installation of the new
content files. No log is available, AFAIK.

This is the product whose installer fails:

I am running wine 0.9.53 because DAZ Studio reportedly does not run correctly
under 0.9.54 or 0.9.55 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11341).

FYI, bug #11341 is more or less solved for me.

The following workaround appears to make the content file work correctly.
Change <user> to the appropriate user name on your system.

cd /
sudo mkdir DAZ
sudo chmod 777 DAZ/ -R
ln -s "/home/<user>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/DAZ/dzInstall.ini"
DAZ/dzInstall.ini

This is a DAZ bug not a Wine bug, so I will mark it fixed. Here are some DAZ

If it's not a wine bug, then the correct resolution isn't FIXED,
but rather INVALID.

Closing invalid.
