I'm not sure that doesn't qualify as a bug in my book... I think you are right to point out that it may not be easy to fix properly. But even if its a feature, it's a confusing one.
Yep, IMHO it's a bug. I guess the Wine FAQ should have an entry Q. I'm trying to install something. The first thing that shows up is a dialog box saying "Setup is preparing the InstallShield wizard...", then I just get a big blue screen with the name of the product in the background, and it sits there forever. A. Try editing ~/.wine/config and change the line that says Managed = "Y" to Managed = "N" That works around a problem where Wine gets the Z-order of some windows wrong. This problem will eventually be fixed.
Presumably, your install is still failing, Dan? Now that you have the blue screen usurper taken care of, does winedbg speak to you?
Nah, the DAO install went fine after that. I guess I'll move on to the next issue, the MFC migration kit install, since fixing this bug appears to be beyond my skill level for the moment.
Say, does anyone know what bug # this is in the bug database? I had trouble searching just now... - Dan
