My church is setting up a technology committee to decide what to do in the face of recent (possibly virus-related) problems they've been having. Naturally, Linux and Wine come to mind. The one app they run that I know of no Linux equivalent for is called ChurchWindows (from http://churchwindows.com, natch). A freely downloadable demo is available at their web site.
Sadly, when I try to install it with 20030911, I get the error
"Certain Microsoft files can only be provided by installing Internet Explorer version 4.01 Service Pack 2 or later. It appears that your computer does not curently have this version (or later) installed. Please install a newer version of Internet Explorer before running this install."
I then tried --debugmsg +reg to see what it was sensing, but then the familiar old race condition reared its ugly head: "Error Number: 0x80040706 Description: Object reference not set Setup will now terminate"
Can someone with more Wine juju than me have a look at http://209.190.80.19/trial/CW2003demo.exe and see how far off Wine is from supporting it?
Thanks! - Dan
