Summary: Hallmark Card Studio 2005 Demo doesn't install properly Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other URL: http://www.tucows.com/preview/391885 OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download, Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
While looking at the issues raised in http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/blog/my_quest_to_stop_dual_booting I tried installing Hallmark Card Studio 2005's demo.
$ rm -rf ~/.wine $ wine HallmarkTrialSetup.exe
The installer's GUI claims all went well, but the installer keeps running. Killing the installer and then starting the app the first time gets a "Module not found" dialog box (during product activation?). Subsequent runs just sit there.
Looking at the console messages from the installer, I see a few directly suspicious ones:
err:module:import_dll Library mswstr10.dll (which is needed by L"C:\windows\system32\msjet40.dll") not found warn:file:CreateFileW Unable to create file L"C:\Progra~1\Common~1\Micros~1\dao\dao2535.tlb" (status c0000034) trace:file:CreateFileW returning 0xffffffff err:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Loading of typelib L"C:\Progra~1\Common~1\Micros~1\dao\dao2535.tlb" failed with error 2
and afterwards, there's one file stored in a path full of short names, which seems wrong: ~/.wine/drive_c/Progra~1/Common~1/Micros~1/dao/dao360.dll
and no file named mswstr10.dll or anything like it is installed. Let's call "missing or misplaced files or registry entries" the problem for the purpose of this bug report.
I also tried installing with wine set to win98 to see if that would do better. Nope -- it yields a "successful" installation without too many errors, yet the app itself doesn't get installed!
