           Summary: WriteIniValues does not create
                    c:/windows/DieVölkerGold.ini
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

Hi,

The game "die Völker, Gold Edition" does not install correctly. The bug is
that the file c:\windows\DieVölkerGold.ini is not created during installation.

The wise installer / MSI report no error, yet running the game says it was not
installed correctly:
Call KERNEL32.GetPrivateProfileStringA(004bd5c8 "SearchPaths",004bd5d4 "HDD
SearchPath",004c0ca8 "",004c2698,00000104,004c279c
"C:\\windows\\DieV\xf6lkerGol
d.ini") ret=00493885

Running msiexec by hand in order to produce a log file shows, among other log
messages:
$ msiexec '/l*' foo.log /i d:\\setup\\setup.msi
[...]
Action 22:57:22: WriteIniValues. Schreiben von INI-Dateiwerten
Datei: Version,  Abschnitt: Info,  Schlüssel: Version, Wert:  v3.0
Datei: HDDSearchPath,  Abschnitt: SearchPaths,  Schlüssel: HDDSearchPath,
Wert: C:\Programme\Games\Voelker\
which seems to indicate that the correct calls were made to have the file
created.

I created the file by hand, using the keys & values from the log file:
[Info]
Version=" v3.0"

[SearchPaths]
HDDSearchPath="C:\\Programme\\Games\Voelker\\"
CDSearchPath="D:\\game"
UnInstallPath="msiexec /x {24ECFEDB-6CE0-48D0-8C34-EE4C5BC275BF}"

The error message then disappears. (It is replaced by another one saying that
the Cinepak codec is not installed, but that's another bug).

Maybe the Umlaut in the file name causes trouble? -- I've seen other
applications (not yet tested again in 1.0rc1) produce ASCII windows/*.ini files
successfully.
