The above mentioned bug is a dupe of https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36139.
This bug causes quite many windows programs to fail to install with wine. Upstream suggests in the bugreport to reach out for the packagers, what seems not to have happened yet, so here we are. (ARCH and Debian already fixed it in their 1.6 packages.) It affects wine in utopic (and probably vivid) , but afaik not trusty (I assume there an older gcc is used). Fixed upstream in wine 1.7.20 by commit deb274226783ab886bdb44876944e156757efe2b Author: Daniel Beitler <d...@dablabs.com> Date: Sun May 18 13:27:42 2014 -0400 Greets jre ** Bug watch added: Wine Bugzilla #36139 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36139 ** Attachment added: "Upstream commit fixing the problem" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/+bug/1383214/+attachment/4299312/+files/commit-deb2742 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1383214 Title: msiexec no longer works To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/+bug/1383214/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
