I would like to suggest a possible explanation for the problem: I believe the
serial number and authorization keys are arroneously converted to uppercase
when trying to install Delphi 6 under wine, because:

- those credentials are case sensitive and seems to be always lower case
(entering them in uppercase in Windows causes them to be rejected with the same
error message as in wine);

- if I enter the serial number and authorization key in Windows and then click
on the Back button, then on the Next button, I see again this information as I
typed it: in lowercase;

- if I do exactly the same test in wine (version 1.1.34), I see that my
information was converted to UPPERCASE!

This let me believe that, althought my credentials are displayed correctly (in
lowercase) while I type them, wine may convert them internally to uppercase and
pass this incorrect strings to the validation routine of the Delphi installer,
which can only reject them.
