Re: test case for MSI problem in America's Army installer

I think you can just compile and run it with visual C++ as a standalone app,
with the right commandline options to the compiler.  Let's see: try
the instructions here:
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2005/05/0865.html

You can also build with the wine build system and then
run the executable with a single commandline option
giving the name of the test to run.  Better ask on wine-devel, I have to run.
