             Bug #: 31232
           Summary: The Way Things Work 2.0 installer froze after finished
                    copying files
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.21
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: Nachanon_Vetjasit at hotmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
   Regression SHA1: 54d7c8012d1d7369a56779955ced5a09e448a1cd


When started The Way Things Work 2.0 installer (setup.exe),
the setup proceeds normally, through the welcome screen,
quicktime installer prompt (though QuickTime 16bit 2.1.1 installation didn't
work [bug #18260]),
installation options (express/custom), files copying progress window.

But as soon as the file copying window disappeared, the installer froze, no
screen repainting, no message from WINE's console.
(Normally this stage should be creating program groups and ends at the 'Setup
Complete' window)


54d7c8012d1d7369a56779955ced5a09e448a1cd is first bad commit

With WINE before this commit, the installation would continue, with WINE's
Program Manager (progman)
popped up with a dialog from the setup program: "Unable to start DDE
communication with Program Manager." [Abort/Retry/Ignore]
If clicked 'Ignore' (aka. continue despite the error), this step will be
repeated for another five time, each time leaving one Program Manager window
opened (6 window total at the end).
And finished with 'Setup Complete' window.


Note:
The Way Things Work is a 16-bit application, and supports Windows 3.1.
Tested using WINE's Windows version 98.

WINE: wine-1.1.21 source distribution
System: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" i386 (Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz)
