Summary: Photoshop 7.0 tryout installer seems to hang on 99% of preparing setup Product: Wine Version: 0.9.42. Platform: PC URL: http://www.fileplanet.com/59113/50000/fileinfo/Adobe- Photoshop-7.0-Trial---Win32 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mikolaj.zalewski@gmail.com
In reality it's only a 60s delay. It's because the downloaded executable only unpacks a second stage installer into windows\temp. The second stage installer unpacks some more files and when it arrives at 99% it broadcasts about 600 "LOGO_MSG_LOGOSTATUS_30" messages. But the first stage installer is still active with a hidden window and it's message loop contains PeekMessage interleaved with WaitForSingleObject on the second process with a 100ms timeout. That gives the 60s delay. I don't know yet how it works under Windows and what Wine is doing incorrectly.
A workaround is to start the second-stage installer from windows\temp - that way there is no first-stage installer window.
