Status of MSI

[Mike McCormack]

Hi All,

I've completed the merge of the work Aric and I have done to date on 
MSI.  Some programs that use and do not package the MSI installer may 
start to work.  We still have no implementation of msiexec.exe, so there 
is still no method to install .msi files directly, however not all MSI 
based installs require msiexec.exe.  (It's fairly easy to implement if 
anybody wishes to volunteer...)

Consider adding "msi" = "native, builtin" to your Wine configuration 
files, and not installing the MSI redistributables straight away when 
you encounter an installer that uses msi.dll :)  Let us know what bugs 
that turns up.

thanks,

Mike
