Hi All,
I've completed the merge of the work Aric and I have done to date on
MSI. Some programs that use and do not package the MSI installer may
start to work. We still have no implementation of msiexec.exe, so there
is still no method to install .msi files directly, however not all MSI
based installs require msiexec.exe. (It's fairly easy to implement if
anybody wishes to volunteer...)
Consider adding "msi" = "native, builtin" to your Wine configuration
files, and not installing the MSI redistributables straight away when
you encounter an installer that uses msi.dll :) Let us know what bugs
that turns up.
thanks,
Mike
