Summary: Game-of-the-day from gamehouse.com fails to install
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
My wife wanted to try the current download from
http://www.gamehouse.com/free-games
which turns out to be
6b1e25f7b5337b395d5f21c5bce2c795bd6ce654
GameHouse-Installer_amg-farmfrenzy3iceage_gamehouse_.exe
In Wine, it exits silently.  It's a rar sfx, so you can extract the
files with rar.   Looks like the sfx runs bin/bstrapInstall.exe.
+relay shows that this does something like
  regsvr32 /s .\bin\InstallerDlg.dll
  bin\gameinstaller.exe installerMain.clf
Doing this by hand also exits silently.  +relay shows
0024:Call ntdll.strlen(001cfc98 "attempt to call global `InstallerUI' (a nil
value)") ret=1000ad86
which looks a bit suspicious.
It's all very LUA-y and COM-y, too.
