My 1.0 wish list

I'm willing to focus some effort on these tasks, too,
so it's not just pie-in-the-sky wishing.

I can help debug some of these, and maybe contribute to the code/test cases. 
I haven't coded much in C in the last few years, I took some in college, but 
I've never used it yet in my career path, but I'm working on refreshing my 
memory, and working on trying to understand the most commonly used functions 
called in wine.

What is broken in MingW installer?, Upon testing I was able to install 5.0.2 
Mingw just fine, and selected all of the components and it installed fine. I 
also was able to install gdb, as the bug suggests you're not able.

I just tested J2SE update 7 offline installation from sun and it installed 
with no problems. Are we trying to install netbeans or something too that's 
crashing?
I'm using the latest cvs version of wine.

I guess it's not installing after all, the installer menu says install 
completed, but the log code says differently.

fixme:msi:ACTION_HandleStandardAction unhandled standard action 
L"RemoveFolders"err:cabinet:FDICopy PFDI_OPEN returned zero for c:\Program 
Files\Common Files\Java\Update\Base 
Images\jdk1.5.0.b64\patch-jdk1.5.0_07.b03\jo150000.cab.
err:msi:extract_cabinet_file FDICopy failed
err:msi:ACTION_InstallFiles Unable to ready media

That message looks eerily  familiar,

seems the same bug that plagues the America's Army installer also plagues 
that of J2SE. Caused by the query in ready_media_for_file in files.c 
returning the wrong results from the query "SELECT * FROM Media WHERE 
LastSequence >= file-Sequence ORDER BY LastSequence".

Fix this bug and we'll kill 2 birds with one stone.

I just tested the latest Kidspiration install. The self extracting .exe 
extracts the Trial.exe file into windows/temp, and then complains about not 
having a program associated with Kid's Trial.exe. After traversing into the 
.wine/drive_c/windows/temp folder and typing Wine Kid's Trial.exe the 
program installed and ran just fine.

That sounds like a loader problem..  might want to ask one of the senior
devels *cough*AJ*cough* to look into it and give at least an explanation of
what might be causing it..  with that info, maybe someone could unofficially
mentor a fix for it outta one of the SoC kids. <g>
