[Bug 23597] New: Installer says "this is not a valid copy of Pinball Mania"

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23597

Summary: Installer says "this is not a valid copy of Pinball
                    Mania"
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc6
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

This bug applies to Pinball Mania for Windows by 21st Century Entertainment. I
tested with the version on a Softkey compilation CD-ROM, "Entertainment Pack
Volume III".

In Wine, on running setup.exe a couple of dialog boxes appear, one to confirm
the destination drive, the second to confirm the amount of free space. On
dismissing those, a third dialog box appears, saying "This is not a valid copy
of Pinball Mania!". After showing another dialog box the installer exits.

The CD-ROM is very unlikely to be copy-protected.

The only console output (which appears before the first dialog box, so is
probably not relevant) is:
err:ddeml:WDML_CreateString Unknown code page 850
err:int21:INT21_Ioctl_Block int21: unknown/not implemented parameters:
int21: AX 440d, BX 0003, CX 0873, DX 0000, SI 0000, DI 0106, DS 1001, ES 1001

Created an attachment (id=29504)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=29504)
+relay log before the not a valid copy dialog box

Yes, the drive type (E:) is set to CD-ROM.

This attachment is part of the +relay log, from the dialog box prior, to the
not valid copy dialog box.

The setup.exe file appears to have been created by Visual Basic 3. It
decompresses and runs pm_setup.ex_. I decompressed pm_setup.ex_ and ran it
through a VB3 decompiler. Part of the code:

l008C$ = Command$
    ...

Select Case Dir$(l008C$ + "*.ID", 0)

Case "UK.ID"

l00AE = 0

Case "USA.ID"

l00AE = 1

Case Else

GoTo L653C

End Select
    ...

L653C:

MsgBox "This is not a valid copy of Pinball Mania!", 48, gv004E

There is a file usa.id in the maniawin directory on the CD-ROM; that's the only
*.id file in the directory.

Mark, any changes in the status of the bug with Wine-1.3.34 (or newer)?

No new messages in over 2 years, no download available, marking abandoned. If
anyone is still able to reproduce in current (1.7.7 or newer) wine, feel free
to reopen.
