Summary: Wine does not extract files fast enough for programs to perform actions on them Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: Speeddymon@yahoo.com
See bug 717 and bug 1170 for more info, basically, during certain installs, there are operations that try to get performed on certain files that are extracted/created during the install. In those certain installs, wine either does not do this fast enough or the installer is braindead and tries to perform actions on them before it tries to extract them (perhaps checking if the version that is already installed is up-to-date) and therefore causes wine to do unusual things. 2 installers I can think of are the msvb runtime installer mentioned in bug 1170, the starcraft installer mentioned in bug 717 and the AIM installer mentioned in the comments of bug 129.
