Yes, I have installed MSN Messenger using it. > I've tried installing bout the 98 and 2K versions under wine, but only > get: > > cdrom $ /usr/local/bin/wine ./instmsiw.exe > fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Security directory ignored > fixme:process:CreateProcessA (X:\IXP000.TMP\msiinst.exe,...): > NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored This is your problem. Only the Win9x version of MSI works at the moment and only if your version is set to Win9x in your config file. I submitted a few patches a while ago to get the WinNT version a bit further but it needs a load of security functions which aren't implemented (properly) yet. There was talk a while ago about reimplementing MSI in Wine, but we rejected the idea on the grounds that it was undocumented, very complicated and not needed yet. > On another note, I'm really surprised that the wine-users list is so > quiet as it's such an important bit of software. I apologise for this. We do have a few developers that regularly post there (including me on occasions), it just seems you caught us at a busy moment. Rob
