Hello,
I have been digging around attempting to get ICQ 2002a to install. (appdb ->http://appdb.codeweavers.com/appview.php?appId=55&versionId=986)
(o/t ok shoot me, I like the windows client ;)
When attempting to install I notice that wine appears to be testing for the presence of a native shdocvw.dll. From my limited debugging ability it looks like the ICQ installer is testing for the physical presence (and version) of the shdocvw.dll file and then aborting rather than attempting to call a missing function and falling over.
Copying over a win98/winme version of shdocvw.dll allows the installer to continue on and unpack its files into their location and (hopefully!) setting up some registry entries. (Unfortunately, ICQ itself crashes without the presence of some further dll's... The installer tries to launch ICQ an produces some problems)
Is this scenario possible or am I way off track???? Sorry I'm rather new to wine devel :(
Regards,
-jan
