Log of crash with +relay in win98 mode

For some reason, the vb6 installer now crashes unless you run with +relay.

The console shows
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code
(0x00411799).
but because +relay works around the problem, it's hard to give a good log.

Running in win98 mode crashes at about the same time even with +relay,
I'll attach that log.

Whoops, this was with 1.3.1, not 1.3.0.

Hello,

which Visual Basic 6.0 Edition is this?
I tried Visual Studio 6 Prof and Enterprise Edition (and SP5 one) which contain
VB6 but none of them contained this "vs60wiz.exe" installer (even in
resources):

Looks like dynamically extracted ...

--- snip ---
0009:Call KERNEL32.CreateProcessA(0032d788
"C:\users\dank\Temp\vs60wiz.exe",0032dc98
"C:\users\dank\Temp\vs60wiz.exe /location:D:
",00000000,00000000,00000000,00000020,00000000,00000000,0032d744,0032d734)
ret=0040ccf3 
--- snip ---

Anyway are you sure you don't run into well known performance counter bug 5322
?

Even MSDN/KB points out the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192731

"192731 BUG: Application Error in Setup (VS60wiz.exe) when installing Microsoft
Visual Studio 6.0"

You could provide that "vs60wiz.exe" executable to a private download, I don't
need the whole installer garbage.

Bug 5322 was worked around by win98 mode, but this isn't, so perhaps it's
different.

The app is Visual Basic 6.0 Professional, cd label VBP600ENU1.

/media/VBP600ENU1 $ find . -type f | xargs grep -i -l vs60wiz
./setup.exe

/media/VBP600ENU1 $ sha1sum setup.*
884b9b78a4659df9a7a944cb2e04c8f4857ee2f4  setup.exe
5c6de9642f17b4cf5bdd9a5131bfabecf0cc7a2f  setup.ini
e9faee5d16230b86d0ffadbe5e19df553d3e79c3  setup.tdf

I'll contact you offline.

Hello,

although the code looks pretty brain damaged (many version/build specific
checks, was there any QA at this time?), I could not find a code path to
reproduce this with "Win98" config.
At the time the installer crashes, 'winemenubuilder' is messing with the
registry (ideally shouldn't be a problem - but it hurts log analysis a bit).

Could you start off with a clean WINEPREFIX, pre-create it (wineboot) before
running the installer, make sure no lingering processes.
Set winver to Win98 and start the installer.
If it still crashes, repeat previous steps and provide +relay log ->
additionally add +reg to debug channels.

I suspect something messed up your registry hive.

Regards

Can't reproduce now.  
(I think I was running with empty wineprefixes before, should have been ok, but
whatever.)
