It is possible that you are getting caught out by a modal dialogue that is not being brought to the top of the z-order : ie not comming to the front.
I wrote about this in one of my msgs earlier this year but you may have missed it since there was a lot of detail.
I found it best to drag the red Dragon Systems splash to one side once it appears. I was being caught out by a simple "OK" button that I could not see and I thought wine was locked up solid !
I hope that helps. Also check the mailing list archive or the appDB for which version I was running at the time. [Regression is a popular term on wine-dev ;) ]
I think you can be pretty confident about getting v7 to install if you check back on earlier postings, there were a couple of silly hic-coughs but nothing too hairy.

OK, but I don't seem to be able to do that; when I try the install, these messages appear, and I don't get the prompt back, unless I Control-C. If then I issue a wineboot command and restart the install, it starts again from the beginning, same thing exactly; if I issue wineboot on another console without killing the first process, nothing seems to happen, and the install cannot be started again.
So what can I try now? tia
