           Summary: TestComplete painful install, won't start once installed
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.5.
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://automatedqa.com
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-ole
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com


TestComplete's installer tickles a lot of err's and fixme's.
Surprisingly, the installation completes anyway, but
the app won't run.  Here's a log of trying to start the app:

[dank at localhost Bin]$ ~/wine/wine TestComplete.exe
fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceA ((null),"AQA"): stub
fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW (L"",L"AQA"): stub
fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity ((nil),-1,(nil),(nil),4,3,(nil),0,(nil)) - stub!
err:ole:RunningObjectTableImpl_Register Invalid combination of ROTFLAGS: 3
fixme:process:SetProcessWorkingSetSize (0xffffffff,-1,-1): stub - harmless
fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceA ((null),"TestComplete Service"): stub
fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW (L"",L"TestComplete Service"): stub

The app then puts up a dialog box saying 
"An error occurred when starting DebuggerService.
The internal COM object used by the service is not registered.
Please contact our support team at support at automatedqa.com."

I'll upload a full log of the install and run.

To repeat: first you have to install msvcp60.dll because
otherwise the Mozilla ActiveX control fails to install
(see bug 4064), and you have to set a registry key 
(else the app's installer complains you don't have IE):

$ rm -rf ~/.wine   #(be clean and reproducible)
$ notepad          #(and quit; this creates the .wine directory)
$ wineserver -k    #(so you can modify the registry files)
$ cat >> ~/.wine/system.reg <<"_EOF_"

[Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="6.0.2900.2180"
_EOF_
$ cp msvcp60.dll .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
$ wine testcomplete4demo.exe

Annoyingly, when the installer gets to the point where it's
asking you which options you want installed,
it seems to want you to use control-click to highlight
multiple choices -- but really it wants you to check
checkboxes which are scrolled off to the left.  I had
to play around with this a few times before I saw
it wasn't broken.

Towards the end of the installation,
a dialog box pops up saying 
"Unable to launch tcrea4.exe.
Please try to launch it manually
after the installation process is completed."
