[Bug 11656] New: FarCry InstallShield wizard cannot be completed

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11656

Summary: FarCry InstallShield wizard cannot be completed
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.55.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

FarCry InstallShield wizard cannot be completed due to an unpopulated tree
control.  The control under Windows XP allows components to be selected for
installation.  In Wine, no components show up in the list and therefore no
components can be selected and the installation cannot continue.  Selecting the
"Next" button brings up a message box which tells you to "Please select at
least one language pack!".

jim@critter:~/.winetest/drive_c> env WINEPREFIX=/home/jim/.winetest wine
~/installation/FarCry/CD/setup.exe

Don't run apps this way, cd to the directory first.

Yes, I get the same. But using the loki installer posted on the discussion
page, the installation works fine.

It is true that for some people the loki installer is an acceptable solution
for the Far Cry problem. It might even be that the auto-population of TreeViews
is an asinine windows quirk. Some might even think that it would seriously
damage the cleanliness of the current code for TreeViews.

But unfortunately, it's still there, and compatibility with windows also means
compatibility with the stupid things. Maybe that's the most frustrating about
developing for WINE. Yet I'm glad so many talented developers are willing to do
it. Thanks for that!

P.S.: From the things I've been reading in AppDB it seems that if the installer
is fixed to run perfectly, then Far Cry itself might also run problemlessly on
WINE (from installation to game finish), which would for all intents and
purposes be awesome.

If you fix this in the near-future or not: thanks WINE developers, you made me
spend 95% of the time in Linux and only 5% in windows, instead of an expected
50% (I really like my games and UltraVNC). Pretty soon that will be 100% for
linux, and it will be mostly thanks to you, that I will never have to do
anything at all in Vista or succesors.
