[Bug 35356] New: Program requests Logged in as administrator

Bug ID: 35356
           Summary: Program requests Logged in as administrator
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.9
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

    Classification: Unclassified

Powerdirector 8 is successfully loaded. On selecting it from the desktop it
starts (under WinXP) but shows a warning window that " you need to be logged in
as administrator to register this product". As a result PD8 cannot be used. I
have also tried wine1.4 and Win98 but the program needs WinXP. This "logged in
as windows administrator" seems to be a common problem.

Hello folks,

can't reproduce this, starts fine.

Prerequisite: 'winetricks -q mfc42'

Upon startup the app shows a registration dialog with some options:

* "Buy Now"
* "Activate"
* "Try Now"

After selecting "Try Now" the app continues loading and starts importing some
media files.
"Activation" feature also works (tested with some code found here and there).

There is a crash (heap corruption) in libxml2/msxml during media import but
this seems a different problem which can be worked around with 'winetricks -q
msxml3'.

Make sure you install the app in new(!) 32-bit WINEPREFIX.
