I've been working on getting the Free Borland installer working. It uses installshield so I think this pertains to all installshield installers .. I've found a problem in propsheet.c , PROPSHEET_CollectPageInfo() . It appears that the property pages that come out of the installer have the PSP_USETITLE flag set. So wine attempts to get the title from the pszTitle field. The problem occurs because the pszTitle field is null. Wine try's to use it as a resource ID then fails. From reading over some MS docs I think windows, in this situation, reverts the PSP_USETITLE flag then uses the title in the template. So far I can get the installer to work, but it doesn't have a title or caption I haven't figured out why.
I tryed changind it to "if (dwFlags & PSP_USETITLE && LOWORD(lppsp->pszTitle) != 0)" but it didn't have any effect. I also tryed reverting the PSP_USETITLE flag with no effect. Anyone have any ideas why there isn't a title?
The patch below should fix the borland installer and , I assume, other install shield installers. Let me know if this patch doesn't work..
