           Summary: Microsoft Flight Simulator X Service Pack 1 installer
                    page faults on PatchFiles (suggested patch)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.21
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi

Suggested patch
During the installation of Service Pack 1 for FSX (fsx_sp1_PLK.exe obtained
from https://www.gry-online.pl/S030.asp?ID=15570, sha1sum
9a3af3b5daa6c7fe31accfa6d68e17ffb4ec3c12), a page fault happens in
msi_cabextract(), called in ACTION_PatchFiles() (dlls/msi/files.c:829).
I have found this to occur because the installer package contains a patch that
doesn't contain a cabinet at all, hence my suggested patch simply adds a check
before msi_cabextract() is executed in that place.
With the patch included, the installation only fails because it's trying to
install into a wrong directory (Flight Simulator X instead of Microsoft Flight
Simulator X; simply need to install FSX in there in the first place or perhaps
temporarily rename/symlink the directory), and, with that worked around,
because the wine-provided mspatcha.dll doesn't support LZXD decompression, at
which point providing a native DLL is enough to make the installation succeed.
I attach the suggested patch (well, of course (:), a log taken with an
unpatched Wine 5.21-197-g86e6c0bc281, and one taken with the patch, but without
native mspatcha.dll.
