Bug ID: 56034
           Summary: Borland Turbo CPP 4.5 installer hangs after opening
                    INSTALL.TXT
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.0-rc2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

Patch that fixes the first hang

Note that the installer is INSTALL.EXE, not SETUP.EXE.

If you click Continue, the installer opens INSTALL.TXT in Notepad. When you
close Notepad, the installer should continue, but instead it hangs.

If you click Skip, the installer works but hangs after installation.

The attached patch fixes the problem, mostly. For some reason you have to click
the background after closing Notepad, and the installer still hangs at the end.
I don't know how close the patch is to a correct solution.

Does reverting 6e6a0e2a2c3df15f8f62216227e3f6f454ba7e65 fix the hang?

It looks like 6e6a0e2a2c3df15f8f62216227e3f6f454ba7e65 is related to
b266fcaa66f89c08c056371f7b81b7faadea9a98 which in turn is a different
fix for the regression caused by 9ac7bca209e1b11af898d1b393d13c8dc92c66e1.
Probably it's worth to test whether it's a regression.

Interesting. I tried checking out several commits near the ones you mentioned
and I couldn't find any one where the installer did not hang upon opening
Notepad.
