failed to install with some nice MSI failures when I tried it last week on a current
Wine version (Ubuntu package 0.9.28, I think).

Does that mean that I'm entitled to assemble a capable lynch mob for the guys who were supposed to fix any and all MSI installer issues at CodeWeavers? ;)

IMHO ppviewer.exe is important since those people who receive some scripted PowerPoint file (yes, that's even some "games"!) won't have much luck with OpenOffice Impress, so they're fully dependant on getting ppviewer.exe to work.


This installer works fine for me with git wine.


It is probably the "-2140172307" bug (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6998 - Tested by me and Vitaliy) doing it. Basically it started happening after 0.9.27 to newer installshield apps. They simply stop installing without error but it wasn't always and was at a random point (then patches after .28 caused it to give a crazy error message and now a patch has been submitted to fix it). The errors seen in the terminal were normal, you tend to get a lot when installing things but they are rarely critical.

Ex.
