WINEDEBUG=+tid,+debugstr,+process,+loaddll wine ~/Desktop/InstMsiA.exe

Please, don't paste text with long lines.  It gets wrapped and unreadable.

Here we go.  I see only two native modules being loaded:

000b:trace:loaddll:load_native_dll  Loaded module L"...p\InstMsiA.exe" :
native
000d:trace:loaddll:load_native_dll  Loaded module L"...MP\msiinst.exe" :
native

The critical messages for me seems to be these:

000d:trace:process:CreateProcessW app ... cmdline L"MsiExec.exe /regserver /qn"

...
000f:fixme:msiexec:main /regserver not implemented yet, ignoring
000d:warn:debugstr:OutputDebugStringA MsiInst:

And here are the lines about MsiExec:

000d:trace:process:CreateProcessW app ... cmdline L"MsiExec.exe /regserver /qn"

000d:trace:process:open_exe_file looking for L"MsiExec.exe"

000f:trace:process:__wine_kernel_init starting Winelib app L"...2\msiexec.exe"

0011:fixme:msiexec:main /unregserver not implemented yet, ignoring

So, it really is builtin.  Mike, what would you suggest?  I think setting
WINEDLLOVERRIDES='msiexec.exe=n' would work as a workaround.
