Hi Wine developers,
I posted this to the wine-users list but no joy. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice? Does Windows Installer work?
Sorry for posting here, but I have searched and searched and just can't find anything helpful on the subject.
FYI - I'm using ~/.wine/fake_windows, as I want to eventually get rid of my Windows partition altogether. But if anything needs copying across, I can do that.
On another note, I'm really surprised that the wine-users list is so quiet as it's such an important bit of software.

Hi all,
I've done some searching, but no joy. Anyone have any idea on how to install software that needs Windows Installer to install?
I've tried installing bout the 98 and 2K versions under wine, but only get:
cdrom $ /usr/local/bin/wine ./instmsiw.exe fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Security directory ignored fixme:process:CreateProcessA (X:\IXP000.TMP\msiinst.exe,...): NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored cdrom $ /usr/local/bin/wine --version Wine 20030709 cdrom $
Any ideas?
Antony
