           Summary: Unable to Install .msp Files
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: PC
               URL: see Description
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: pbronline-wine at yahoo.co.uk


Here is a sample trace ...

$ WINEDEBUG=trace+msiexec msiexec /p WPOX3_SP1_EN.msp
trace:msiexec:main argvW[1] = L"/p"
trace:msiexec:main argvW[2] = L"WPOX3_SP1_EN.msp"

That's all folks !

First I thought I had what was described in
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=8457#8457.  However, I think 

fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030003 for
L"/home/lex/Downloads/Windows/WP12OSP2/WP12SP2EN.msp"

means 'file not found'.  I tried a patch to a copy of my WPO12 installation and
msiexec seemed as happy as larry.  (I confess I tried SP1, not SP2 ... see
below).

I did as Dan Kegel suggested and tried WINEDEBUG=+msi+msidb to my problem and
got no output at all.  I thought this meant 'application not installed'.  After
all, if there is nothing to patch then there is nothing to say.

So I made some trials ...

I have a wine skin with WPO12 (WPO = WordPerfect Office) installed and another
with WPOX3 installed.  I have three msp Service Packs for WPO12 and two for
WPOX3.

As expected, attempting to install any service pack on the wrong installation
gave no trace beyond confirming the parameters as shown above.

For WPO12, SP1 was happy, SP2 was silent and SP3 was happy enough but told me
either the application wasn't installed or it was at the wrong patch level. 
Fair enough.

For WPOX3, SP1 was silent while the hot fix for SP2 was happy (though
unintelligible due to a font issue I'm still looking into).

So it seems that the silence must have some other explanation.

My Wine trials were with XP emulation.  WPOX3 and its service packs have been
installed under both native W2K (SP4) Professional and WXP (SP2) Home.  WPO12
and its service packs were used under native W98 and possibly W2K (SP4)
Professional.

As for links where you can download this stuff (I'd doubt the Service Packs
apply to Trial Versions)

WPOX3 Trial Version:
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=uk/ProcessLayout&lc=en&ppg=CorelCorp/Trials/Login&pid=1153321202705&cid=1153321202184

WPOX3 Service Packs:
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Content/1153321224268?pid=1208716875507

I believe I have "Hot Patch - English: Security Update" and "Service Pack 1 -
English".  Service Pack 2 seems to be an .exe. file.

WPO12 Trial Version:
See bug 2547

WPO12 Service Packs:
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Content/1153321224268?pid=1208716795803

I have the English versions of Service Packs 1, 2 and 3.

The whole lot will set you back 600+ Mb download. You'll need a Gb to install
WPOX3 and half that for WPO12.
