Hello,

--- quote ---
When I download the file from hotspotshield.com, I get the following msgbox
error:

The program HSS-149-install-anchorfree-243-ask3.exe has encounted a serious
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This can be caused by a problem in a program or a deficiency in Wine. You may
want to ... &etc.

That's a stupid application bug - but in the end harmless because the main
installer is already started from bootstrap installer.

There is a helper module "ExecDos.dll" extracted which is used to spawn
processes and capture console output:

--- snip ---
C:\users\focht\Temp\nsq81ae.tmp\ExecDos.dll
--- snip ---

The module allocates and deallocates memory blocks using
GlobalAlloc()/GlobalFree().
The problem is at the end, when some code tries to read a variable from block
that is already freed by GlobalFree().
This leads to a code path that should never been taken at this point, crashing
it.

You can verify by running the app with +heap debug channel enabled (free block
data left intact) -> no crash.

Anyway, I'll mark this one fixed as the install completes.
Open new bug reports for additional issues.

Regards
