[Bug 18702] New: Gizmo5: Does not install from clean .wine directory due to lack of Windows OS version (needs XP/2000 or above)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18702

Summary: Gizmo5: Does not install from clean .wine directory
                    due to lack of Windows OS version (needs XP/2000 or
                    above)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.22
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://gizmo5.com/pc/download/#gizmo31
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When installing the latest version of Gizmo (4.0.5) with fresh .wine directory,
the install fails because no OS version is specified in system.reg by default
(a dialog saying that XP/2000 or above is required shows up before installer
quits), even though when winecfg is run, it does have Windows XP selected (but
nothing in the system.reg indicates that).

If the version is changed to 2000 then Gizmo installs fine. If the version is
changed *back* to XP (so that OS version specification is in system.reg), Gizmo
again installs fine.

Do you get an error that wineboot timed out?

Yes, I do get that error. Starting from fresh, or rather, no, .wine directory,
I get,

err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

when I try to run WinGizmoInstall.exe with wine, or when I run wineboot
separately on its own. If I go through the steps that fixed the installation
problem (i.e. run winecfg and select some OS version), the problem with
wineboot also goes away.

It's installed from source (from: http://www.winehq.org/download/; source
download at the bottom). It's compiled on a Debian Squeeze system after running
apt-get build-dep wine. Older versions of wine and libwine were removed prior
to compiling from source. The exact commands for compiling and installing wine
was, in the directory from tarball: ./configure && make dep && make && sudo
make install.

But I had the same trouble with the .deb package (for Debian) available from
the same link.
