[Bug 18137] New: Checkpoint installer dies when running fwkern.exe

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18137

Summary: Checkpoint installer dies when running fwkern.exe

          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2

Entire checkpoint install log file

Checkpoint VPN client does not successfully complete installation. I checked
out the install log, things seem to be going well until the installer attempts
to run 'fwkern.exe'. This results in errors like "Failed to INetCfg" and dumps.

I've attached the whole damn log which includes a few install attempts.

Thanks and let me know if I can be any help.

Not major - http://bugs.winehq.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity

Even installed this probably won't work.

I suspect you're right, Vitaliy, if it wants to create a virtual network
interface or some such thing.  Still, it might be worth mentioning that INetCfg
is documented, and implemented in inetcfg.dll.  Perhaps a stub implementation
of INetCfg would at least get the app to install.

If I'm not mistaken, this is exactly what it does while running in Windows.
When the client is up, you can type 'ipconfig' at a cmd prompt and software
adapters for Checkpoint are in the list.

This is one of my few used Windows apps, I would be willing to try but I could
not find reference to the inetcfg fix on the wine page?

Ah.  That's almost certainly not going to work in Wine, then.  Modifying the
(Linux) networking stack via installing a (Windows) device driver is beyond
Wine's scope.

I was suggesting that one could be written, not that one exists.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.32 or newer) wine?

I just installed wine-1.1.32 and the problem persists as noted. Judging by
above comments and that the software relies on creating fakey soft adapters in
windows, I'm not sure it will ever really work.

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for a year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.3.9 or newer) wine?

This has not been updated for over 900 days.

Is this still an issue in 1.6-rc2 or higher or is this abandoned ?
