Is it common for Visual Basic applications to have problems installing under Wine? Take the recent post by Denis, for instance. He's trying to install a fairly complex Visual Basic app that uses MDAC, and the installer just won't run properly under Wine. (I've corresponded with him privately, and can give more details if desired.)
I have this feeling that this isn't an isolated instance. Maybe there are hundreds of thousands of businesses and government offices that have large collections of VB apps written in-house, not yet ported over to VB.NET, which they'd like to run under Wine -- but they take one look at the trouble they have installing, and give up.
Does anyone have experience rolling VB (not VB.net) apps here? Is it easy to create VB apps that install fine under Windows, but not under Wine?
