[Bug 45919] New: Installation of msi file fails after a former uninstallation

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45919

Bug ID: 45919
           Summary: Installation of msi file fails after a former
                    uninstallation
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.17
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: Ubuntu

With Wine 3.17 a regression bug came in. For certain msi files the installation
fails in a sequence of the following steps:

Sequence:
---------
(1) installation of msi file - Result: OK
(2) uninstall same app with "Wine uninstaller" (with Remove) - Result: OK, app
gets uninstalled
(3) installation of same msi file as in (1) - Result: ERROR: Installation
Incomplete
(4) installation of same msi file as in (1) - Result: OK

Observation:
------------
In step (3) the installation fails but performing the same installation again
(step (4)), it is successfull. It looks as if in step (2) something does not
get properly uninstalled and as a result the next installation fails. But with
this failed installation in step (3) the clean-up finally happens and the
installation in step (4) is successful.

Performing the same sequence with msiexec debug logging is always OK.

In Wine-3.16 as well as in previous versions this installation sequnece had
worked perfect. So, I conclude that with 3.17 a regression bug came in.
(not sure if this issue is related to the fix of Bug 41325)

I will try to add more verbose data (comparison of Wine-3.16 vs. Wine-3.17) in
order to fully understand the bug.

After intensive testing of the scenario (1) to (4) I have found that this
behaviour appears in 10% of the test cases. Unfortunately no additional data
could be extracted of a failure case.

Is there any difference in standard output? Someone else might be able to
reproduce it more reliably. Can you give steps to reproduce? Something like:

1. create fresh 32-bit prefix
 2. wine msiexec /i installer.msi
 3. wine uninstaller -> uninstall app
 4. wine msiexec /i installer.msi

Can you also provide a link to an installer that is affected?

Hans, thanks for your advice.

I have created a fresh new 64-bit prefix (not 32-prefix) and ran multiple
tests. Unfortunately (or better fortunately) I was not able to reproduce the
bug anymore which I reported. May be for whatever reasons the Registry from the
former prefix get corrupted - I dont know.

After running many, many installations with our trial versions (from
www.notation.com) and full versions I came to the conclusion to close this bug
report to be RESOLVED.

Sorry if I have created a confusion here, but this installation stuff is very
essential that any minor issue results in either high customer support or
complex handling. I am going to keep an eye on that and will reopen this report
in case this issue may appear again.

Thanks
