It still does this, but I understand the problem now: a --debugmsg +all reveals it's crashing because the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber registry key is missing (Ender posted about this problem in Sept '02).
When emulating winnt or winxp, it gets a bit further, but dies with a null pointer access.
Not sure why, but two months later, cvs wine gets past this fine; it installs the Microsoft VM for Java with following fixme's and err's:

and "reboots". Running 'wine d:/setup' again resumes, and it runs properly at first.
The first anomaly is that if you click on the "View Readme" button, it does a ShellExecuteA(0, "open", "d:\readme.htm",...) which fails (since we don't install an open handler for .htm files), and says "You must have an HTML viewer, like Microsoft Internet Explorer, installed before you can view the readme."
The next one was that install failed very late (after installation) with the error "Setup could not open the file: 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\REGSVR32.EXE'"
After that, it always failed for me with an error saying "Visual Studio 6.0 Setup was not completed successfully." It crashes when you click 'ok', but the stack isn't terribly useful (it dies with a write to address 4 in MSSETUP.DLL.FFree+0x88). The following fixmes might be related:
fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"C:\WINDOWS\vssetup.for","C:\WINDOWS\vssetup.ttf",(null)): stub fixme:ntdll:NtOpenThreadToken (0xfffffffe,0x00000008,0x00000000,0x4055241c): stub fixme:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken (0xcafe,2,(nil),0,0x40552418): stub fixme:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken (0xcafe,2,0x405523f0,12,0x40552418): stub fixme:ntdll:NtOpenThreadToken (0xfffffffe,0x00000008,0x00000000,0x40552268): stub fixme:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken (0xcafe,2,(nil),0,0x40552264): stub fixme:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken (0xcafe,2,0x4055223c,12,0x40552264): stub
I've even tried wiping out ~/c and ~/.wine, and reinstalling wine, but still no joy. I've only gotten the installer to work mostly right once.
Whenever it crashes in winnt/xp, it leaves one or more windowless wcmd's running the following script:
:Repeat del "E:\vs60wiz.exe" if exist "E:\vs60wiz.exe" goto Repeat del "C:\WINDOWS\DEL4056.BAT"
in a loop, chewing up huge amounts of CPU time.
This problem's still here. Earlier, applying the patch http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/12/0052.html seemed to fix it, but Alexander didn't like that patch, and applied something cleaner. So who knows...
Anyway, it looks like we're not tremendously close to running msvc6's installer :-(
That's it for playtime for me today. - Dan
