Bug #: 30276 Summary: Steam installer crashes after clicking first Next button Product: Wine Version: 1.4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: packagemonkey@yahoo.com Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 39550 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=39550 backtrace from SteamInstall.msi
I've been unable to install Steam for some time, across multiple versions of Wine dating back maybe six months. Current version is 1.4. I run the installer, downloaded from the Steam site, as follows:
$ wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi
It starts the installer and displays the first dialog, with Next and Cancel buttons. When I click Next, it crashes with the attached backtrace.
In trying again to check a few things for this bug report, I noticed it says:
+----------------------------------------+ | Steam Setup + +----------------------------------------+ | Resuming the Steam Installation Wizard | | | | Are you ready to have the Installation | | Wizard continue the installation? | | | +----------------------------------------+ | | Next> | | Cancel | | +----------------------------------------+
So possibly the problem is with leftovers from a previous installation attempt. I don't know how to clear them out, though.

--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2012-03-26 02:43:25 CDT --- Does `winetricks corefonts` help?
Also try a clean WINEPREFIX: $ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.bak $ msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi

--- Comment #2 from Michael Hill packagemonkey@yahoo.com 2012-03-26 08:43:46 CDT --- Hmmmm... I know I've done the corefonts thing before, although that might have been in a different Wine installation (I have an old legacy Cedega installation and two Wine directories, all on the same box, which I am trying to consolidate).
Running the installer in a fresh directory (I set WINEPREFIX to a temp dir) did result in being able to click through a few screens after the first. I will see if corefonts helps.

--- Comment #3 from Michael Hill packagemonkey@yahoo.com 2012-03-30 03:43:47 CDT --- Come to think of it, doesn't the fact that running the installer in a brand new (i.e., previously nonexistent) directory show that lack of corefonts wasn't the problem? In any event, I ran "winetricks corefonts" and it still crashes.

Of course you have to make sure that your Wine is properly compiled with known good GCC version.

Yes, I have the same problem. I am using Linux Mint 15 KDE 64 bit. Recently I wanted to replace Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, on which I could install Steam Windows installer without any problem. I am including my very short output of terminal application for your convenience (as attachment).

This is what I received in the terminal window, hope it helps somebody to help fix the problem.

Note that I had to convert the original MSI format file into the corresponding EXE format by a converter I found in the internet. wine command in the terminal does not like MSI files as it is not recognized as an EXE file. I have also Q4Wine and it can run the unmodified MSI file, with the same result. I will also include the message from the log facility of Q4Wine for your convenience (as attachment).

Here is how Q4Wine 1.0r2 responded to executing SteamInstaller.exe (converted from SteamInstaller.msi).

You don't need to do this, instead use 'wine msiexec /i <package.msi>'. Also consider updating to version 1.7.0 which is the latest development release.

--- Comment #10 from Barbaros Akkurt bakkurt@gmail.com 2013-08-18 02:12:22 CDT --- Thank you for your reply. Meanwhile I was playing with the 1.5 version of wine, which managed to run the SteamInstall.exe file without problems. I have installed the Steam Windows engine. I will make a mental note about launching MSI packages with the command you advised.

I have installed Steam engine successfully, but Steam.exe does not work properly; it has no text on the window.
