Hi,
First of all, thank you for working on this product. I am trying to get
SOMETHING working on Wine and have not been able to so far (including IE6).
Since I'm new to wine, I suspect I have not configured it properly.

I was trying to set up msi overrides as described at this link:
http://wiki.winehq.org/NativeMsi

I deleted my .wine to get rid of all old stuff and started winecfg. I set wine
to run as Windows 98 and selected msi from the "New Overrides for Library" drop
down list on the Library tab. I then exited by clicking the OK button. 

Next, I removed the ./drive_c/windows/system32/msiexec.exe files and copied the
InstMsiA.exe file from the site in that order. When I run wine InstMsiA.exe I
get the errors in the attached file. Is this expected?

I did get a windows/Installer/InstMsi0 directory with a bunch of files under my
drive_c at the end of this though.

Sanjay
