[Bug 26010] New: NI_Multisim won't install

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26010

Summary: NI_Multisim won't install
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.9
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have given this a garbage rating and the page says to file a bug, so here
goes.
You register, and it gives you a downloader. Running the downloader, it slowly
downloads 464mb and writes a file of length 0 bytes :-//. So I used m$, which
is in the house, to download, and tried installing. I have a user set up just
for this, so I can wipe, hack, etc without upsetting anything.

After previous failed attempts I read errors and ran
winetricks gecko corefonts dotnet20sp2 vcrun6sp6 and stuck in dlls as native,
but that didn't help

It seems to want to do these steps
1. Unzip to C:\National Instruments Download - with coaxing it succeeds.
msiexec.exe & setup.exe each consume 49.x% of cpu. msiexec.exe rises to 99% if
keyboard input is wanted. msiexec then took off and grabbed the cpu with no
keyboard input wanted, so I killed it and setup moved on.

2. Next step is to take my name, license number (I used the trial version
option) and setup.exe grabs the cpu until it bombs. It actually works, but I
gather some threads are idle or have crashed, and idle seems to grab full cpu. 
It spews msi errors - sampled below
fixme:msi:MsiGetFeatureValidStatesW 1 L"Core.MIFMUI" 0xfce320 stub returning 8
fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"C:\Program Files\", 0x865818, 19), stub!
fixme:sxs:cache_QueryAssemblyInfo 0x2233470, 0x00000001, L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT,
version=8.0.50727.4053, publicKeyToken=1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b,
processorArchitecture=x86", 0x20fe1d8
fixme:msi:msi_unimplemented_action_stub MsiUnpublishAssemblies -> 10 ignored

fixme:advapi:SetNamedSecurityInfoW L"[AAAAAA.LV.NIEF900]\" 1 4 (nil) (nil)
0x2267efc (nil)

The output onscreen is "Installing .NET 2.0" (already installed) It's step 2 of
6 on the Elvis install, and step 5 of 33 on the full multisim install. After
more msi errors than I considered possible, it craps out executing invalid
instructions on an seh error.

if left running for several hours, it will make C:\National Instruments fill
that with about 500 Megs. It does install a Program\ Filed/blah/blah/Shared
directory with 150 Megs of 8--megs - 1 gig expected.

I have this user here. Tell me what debug trace you'd like and I'll run it.

Please attach a WINEDEBUG=+msi trace from an installation attempt on
current wine and a clean prefix.

I have that on wine-git from 2011-03-17. It's 58 Megs, opbviously OK in places
and obvoiusly looping in others do you want 58 Megs, or will I cut it as I see
fit??
+msi seems to have been the relevant trace. I had top open during the install
and msiexec.exe had over 95% cpu, mscorsvw.exe nearly as much.

You need to install .NET 2.0 with winetricks, it won't work if you let
the installer do it:

0. create a fresh wine prefix
 1. rm -rf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727
 2. winetricks dotnet20
 3. WINEDEBUG=+msi /path/to/setup.exe &> log.txt
 4. compress and attach log.txt here

Logfile too big to upload to bugzilla. Find it temporarily on

Big battle over winetricks and some oddball font, because slackware didn't
rerun mkfontdir & mkfontscale after uninstallig crazy fonts.

Despite having successfully run winetricks dotnet20, it continued to install
.net 2.0:-//. I killed it after an hour or so. It is very messy to kill, and
doesn't fold neatly. I have to kill -9  the .exe files one by one. Also cpu
intensive. This box rarely goes above 50 degrees (C) but this had it up at 74. 
I will see if I can skirt around that .NET2.0 install.

Log of Circuit Suite Downloader program

This relates to the 131k downloader for the NI Circuit Suite (inc multisim, &
ultraboard), which was also non functional.

What is remarkable about this is that there is _NO_ output. I tried it with no
WINEDEBUG, and it gave the single line you see. It has downloaded about 5 megs
of this, according to the neat little progress bar it shows me. It is "Saving"
to the desktop, but the directory is zero bytes full. I added the output of 
ls -lh ~/.wine/drive_c/users/elec/Temp 
which shows the various crap left over from today in the temp dir. Windows =
Will Install Needless Data On Whole System :-/. If you want any of that crap,
just shout. Be aware that bugzilla won't accept files > 1Meg.

Lets concentrate on the first bug. What happens if you repeat the steps
from comment #5 and set winver=win2k before running the installer?

Win2k log is here.

http://cid-9936144096ff2c07.photos.live.com/self.aspx/Public/win2k%5E_log.tx...

Comment #5 refers to the 131k downloader - I agree we should leave it. The
original bug is for a 464MB file, NI_Circuit_Design_Suite_11_0_1_Education.exe.
I set for win2k and ran steps 1-5 of comment #3. As before, setup & msiexec
monopolised cpu. I've never seen 200% from top on this twin cored box before -
I presume that's endless looping from cache. mscorsvw usage gradually climbs,
and setup fades away, while wineserver doesn't appear on top output. It's still
trying to install .net-2.0

The installer is running an expensive query, you should give it more time.

I tried /deeply/buried/setup.exe /?, and it gave me some switches, most of
which didn't allow the program to run. We went with
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/National\ Instruments\ Downloads/NI\ Circuit\ Design\
Suite\ Education/11.0.1/setup.exe /log  /confirmCriticalWarnings > switches.log
2>&1

It ran for the over an hour - setup & msiexec hogging 100% cpu  each. My cpu
doesn't get any hotter than 75 degrees, but this could be an issue on other
boxes. [B] It doesn't know what it's doing[/B] It stopped and asked me about
the errors - unable to publish, and crapped out on 'unknown product' when I
told it to install it anyhow.

A little progress installing this - details

I happened to want this program, and found the need to reinstall it in windows.
It crapped out with a very similar error, which raised one eyebrow here. I had
been accepting defaults, but this won't work. If, however, I do the following.
It also started throwing a wobbler for the lack of msvcp60.dll. I tried
'winetricks vcrun6' but THAT aslo threw a wine error for the lack of
msvcp60.dll.  Go Figure - I'm not breast feeding another bug. 
1. When the install starts, uncheck the box that says to start ./autorun.exe
2. cd to C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI Circuit Design Suite
Education\11.0.1
3. rm -rf on the Parts\Dotnet20 directory
4. Run wine setup.exe /confirmCriticalWarnings
5. When the opportunity comes DO NOT INSTALL Elvis (with strange
capitalisation)

Then you do get a very good way into the install. I eventually crapped out for
the lack of Msvcr80 & 90 and stuff like that. I also got this error "Can't
install dotnet20 - All these files are missing!" with the typical m$ "OK" so I
was able this way to get past the dotnet20 install problems. It was also
complaining about disk space and needing admin privileges. I have 27 gigs and
am admin in my own home dir. It's 100 megs, if you want it. I'll clear out the
.wine/ (again) and start over - it's probably due

LAST ATTEMPT:

ran with clean ~/.wine, ran winetricks gecko vcrun6 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 as all
seem to be needed. Wine setup.exe /confirmCriticalWarnings, and removed
parts/DotNet20x86 directory. 135 Megs of a log with winedebug as +msi

http://cid-9936144096ff2c07.photos.live.com/self.aspx/Public/log4.txt.bz2

Eventually failed on the PICClite installer. I'm still missing the main
executables (multisim.exe, ultraboard.exe) in the install. Using all those
native dlls certainly stretches the imagination. Given that I'm not the only
one to give multisim a garbage rating, you might take this as confirmed?

--- Comment #12 from [e-mail] 2011-03-25 12:40:43 CDT ---
P.S To All above: It maty be that this bug is a duplicate of 2 others. I traced
about in the tree that this builds. In ~/.wine/drive_c/National\ Instruments\
Downloads/NI\ Citcuit\ Design\ Suite\ Education/11.0.1/Parts/ewbcore/ there is
a Data1.cab. In it are multisim.exe & ultraboard.exe, (the primary executables)
and picc lite-9.60.exe. Because picc lite is here, I cannot simply remove it.
Also in that 'Parts' is VC2005 & VC2008

I am failing to install because
1) this insists on installing the DotNet20x86 part, and 
2) the Picc lite part. 
DotNet20 seems to be a known bug. I can get past it with a program switch and a
'rm -rf DotNet20x86.' If anyone was crazy enough to try installing picc lite on
wine, that probably is another known bug. I can't get past that because it's
buried in a CAB

My need of multisim is finished. I designed an electric fence circuit and tried
simulating it and the result is pure crap - it can't handle SCRs or Inductors.
I filed this bug, so I'll test it if you want it tested, or forward the
offending parts or whatever. I suggest you abandon it.

I am suggesting a WONTFIX for this and any future bugs with NI Labview or NI
circuit Suite (Miltisim, Ultraboard). Without reference to installed
components, they install DotNet20x86, VC2005x86, & VC2008x86. The Circuit Suite
has at least 43 separately installed components. and Labview currently has over
130. Labvioew also offers a linux version. The low usage doesn't justify the
effort.

It's still a valid bug, though obviously not a high priority.

Hello,

the installer apparently needs working mspatcha.
Due to bug 12071 it takes the installer a long time to reach this stage (~1
hour).

Required prerequisite:

clean WINEPREFIX

In case it wasn't noticed, I _was_ installing dotnet20.
In your honour, I repeated the clean ~/.wine, and ran 
winetricks gecko corefonts vcrun6 dotnet20
winetricks -q dotnet20
It complained of some weirdo malayan/punjabi font so I found _that_ on the
system and got rid of it. It still complained about it :-/.
Then we repeated the saga - unzipped, unchecking the 'start autorun' ran 
WINEDEBUG=+msi wine setup.exe /confirmCriticalWarnings ran for 2 hours
consuming 100% cpu and barfed on PICC-LITE installer. Step 5 or 6 of 34

If it needs dotnet20, it has dotnet20, and has had all along, if you search
this page for dotnet20 it will be evident.
