           Summary: Intuit QuickBooks Simple Start 2008 install fails
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.56.
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://quickbooks.intuit.com/product/accounting-

          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

First hurdle: 
downloaded .exe is a copy of the akamai download manager,
which does nothing because of
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9727
Happily, it leaves behind the URL of the real installer
in c:/program files/akamai/mumble.url; it's
http://DLM.download.intuit.com/SBD/QuickBooks/2008/R1/QuickBooksSimpleStartDirect2008.exe

The next problem is that the installer tries to install mdac 2.8
and fails, seemingly because of 
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5824
You can reproduce this quickly using the unpacked mdac
installer in c:/windows/temp/MdacTempFolderQB if you like.
Happily, you can work around this with
  sh winetricks mdac28

The installer struggles through the .net 2 install but thinks it
completes successfully (in spite of some crashes).
It then starts the inner installer, which asks a few questions,
then hangs with no UI visible.

You can reproduce this by running the unpacked inner installer
in c:/windows/temp/FSE/QBooks if you like.
