Hello folks,

confirming, it seems the installer is looking for Eventlog service key(s):

--- snip ---
...
0024:Call advapi32.RegOpenKeyExA(80000002,003a4c5c
"SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Eventlog\\Application",00000000,0002001f,0032f354)
ret=0033430d
0024:Ret  advapi32.RegOpenKeyExA() retval=00000002 ret=0033430d

...
0024:Call user32.CharPrevA(005a70a0 "3/24/2013 22:18:06 GMT END -
IsSufficientRegKeyAccessAvailable( 0 )",005a70e3 "") ret=00379551 
...
0024:Call user32.MessageBoxA(00000000,005a8358 "User is missing adequate access
rights to Window's registry. LiveUpdate Installer aborts.",005a71d0 "LiveUpdate
Installer",00000010) ret=00344e8e 
--- snip ---

Workaround: add the following key prior running the installer:

--- snip ---
$ wine reg add HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Eventlog\\Application
--- snip ---

$ du -sh lusetup.exe 
3.4M    lusetup.exe

$ sha1sum lusetup.exe 
467a49bbb0bbc895f526cb4449d8569afa4e347e  lusetup.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.5.26-19-g6ed2d9b

Regards
