I tried to install MS Visual Studio 6, but the install program exited after two seconds without error message. When I read the debug logs, I found out that the installer needs the following value: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber I had a look at my original Windows (98 SE) system.dat and there the value was set to "4.10.2222". I added the value with regedit in wine and the program was satisfied :-)
Does someone know more about this value and its necessity? Should it be added to wine's standard set of registry keys and values?
Here are some sites about these version numbers: 1) http://garrett.vdsworld.com/winver.htm 2) http://www.admins-tipps.net/software/microsoft/microsoft_windows_versionen.h... 3) Googles translation of 2): http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.admin...
My wine is set to win98 and it doesn't use an original Windows installation.
