Call for Installer Bugs...

[Dan Kegel]

Lots of progress has been made in fixing installer bugs lately,
but there are probably many such bugs hiding in plain view still.
It would be very helpful if people could look for bugs which:
a) appear to be MSI or setupapi related, and
b) occur in freely downloadable executables (e.g. trial versions)
c) aren't already in bugzilla
(see
http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?product=Wine&component=wine-msi&k...
for list)

and file reports as appropriate at http://bugs.winehq.org.

Thanks!
- Dan

I have an installer bug in the 'zilla, I'd like to see whether it's on
your list.
Can't though, clicking the URL above gives:

} Net Reset Error
}
} The document contains no data.
}

Aye?

PS. 'zilla sucks.
With Trac, you could have specified the parameters used above in a
report, and just linked to that.  Like for example this:
http://trac.edgewall.org/report/2

Hello

There are Bugs in Corel Draw:
CorelDRAW 10: Bug #5801
I know that CorelDRAW 11 installation fails at start but have not a version so cannot provide a bug report.
CorelDRAW 12 is already reported

Office 2003 installation fails on 0.9.21
SimCity 4 needs special interaction to get it running: http://www.holarse-linuxgaming.de/h2006/space/SimCity+4
Also a securom issue.
