[antony@antgel.co.uk: .msi files]
by Antony Gelberg 01 Aug '03

Hi Wine developers, I posted this to the wine-users list but no joy. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice? Does Windows Installer work? Sorry for posting here, but I have searched and searched and just can't find anything helpful on the subject. FYI - I'm using ~/.wine/fake_windows, as I want to eventually get rid of my Windows partition altogether. But if anything needs copying across, I can do that. On another note, I'm really surprised that the wine-users list is so quiet as it's such an important bit of software.

Anyone have any idea on how to install software that needs Windows Installer to install? I've tried installing bout the 98 and 2K versions under wine, but only get: cdrom $ /usr/local/bin/wine ./instmsiw.exe fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Security directory ignored fixme:process:CreateProcessA (X:\IXP000.TMP\msiinst.exe,...): NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored cdrom $ /usr/local/bin/wine --version Wine 20030709 cdrom $ Any ideas?

So I don't know why it looks bad to you. > Horizontal trackbars are still OK, though with this patch the thumb is > bigger than native 98. I didn't bother with a screenshot of that since > it still looks OK. One part of the code I did not test is the function TRACKBAR_InitializeThumb(), which sets the initial thumb length. My confidence in that part is not very good, since it doesn't make sense to have different calculations for the horizontal and vertical bars. So if someone were to do some simple testing to verify/correct that function, it would be a good thing. All of the rest of the patch sets the rest of the dimensions of the control based on the length of the thumb and the size of the window, which is how Windows does it. That part I tested extensively, and am very confident is correct.

thanks for all the help :)

Well, I made it. Our app no longer crashes, hangs, or blows its resource limits :) A slightly close shave with only 2 hours to go before I leave the company, but never mind. A big thanks to all the people who helped me, especially Ove, Mike, Robert, Greg, all the others and of course Alexandre. I've got quite a few bugfixes in my tree, which I'll try and get submitted sometime next week before I go off to bum around Europe for a month. I'll also try and do a patch dump of the DCOM stuff, which is just oves work (badly) merged with some bugfixes, a few new features and lots of no-op changes and useless trace statements. I never did bother figuring out or eliminating the duplication between Oves and Marcus' code, so it's not really in a mergable state. If nobody else attempts to do a proper merge then hopefully I'll get time to do it, this code is really useful. It'd be quicker/easier for a COM guru however. thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center
