Hello folks,

confirming.

Actually it's not obvious from trace log, you have to debug it to see what's
going on :)

The installer searches the process environment variables for 'COMPUTERNAME' and
crashes badly due to crappy coding if this variable is not present.

On Windows %COMPUTERNAME% is probably always present/set.

Workaround: 

--- snip ---
$ COMPUTERNAME=$HOSTNAME wine ./PADS9.5_Viewer_mib.exe
--- snip ---

Regards
