It's not wine that needs msiexec, it's some application with it's

If things change and msiexec get's part of the ms core distribution, we can
reconsider...

Actually it is included with Windows 2000, XP and Me etc:
Indeed, and quite a few apps are starting to ship only with MSIs. As XP
replaces 98, that is only going to become a bigger problem.
For now, having a script which downloads and installs the MSI system
from microsoft.com should suffice. It'd have to fake user agent strings,
but that's no big
Do you really think that rpm/deb are nasty ? ;)
The Windows Installer Service is just a rpm-like (guess what
distribution I run ;)
Those MSI's are really nasty. IIRC, theyre like one big
relational-database-style table in there, and, since they are
cramming
all the features of this

Argh!
Well
I think Windows 2000 shiped with MSI 1.0, which was, to put it mildly,
inadequate.
Which is not to say we are going to have a nice time of it. Not at all.
I have played around with MSI a bit back
Thanks to all that who responded to my MSI query. It sounds like I need
not look into implementing it. I just wanted to address one issue.
We don't need to implement every MS dll. We only need to implement:
- core dlls (kernel32, comclt32, ...) which applications expect to be
available

I've found that many of the test applications I've tried installing failed
due to the lack of MSIEXEC. If it is implemented, could you tell me where
to find it? If not, I'd like to contribute, could you tell me if any work
has been done and who to coordinate with?
Thanks,

I have not heard anybody speaking about implementing it on this list (I'm

As MSI is an MS redistributable, isn't it perfectly
