Setup exits with empty dialog box!

Hi all,

I'm just getting started using WINE. I set it up, and it runs the 
canonical Solitaire game just fine. My WINE config file is attached.

I popped in a Sierra Generations Family Tree Deluxe CD and ran its setup 
program. A small window titled "Setup" appears with a gas gauge and the 
text "Generations(R) 4.2 Setup is preparing the InstallShield(R) Wizard 
which will guide you through the rest of the setup process. Please 
wait.". The gauge goes up to 100%, a Sierra splash screen appears, and 
then a dialog box with no title, no contents, a white X on a red circle, 
and an OK button. There's a little icon on the title bar's left side 
that looks like a martini glass with a cherry in it to me.

The program exits after hitting OK.

Then I logged the program:wine --debugmsg 
+relay,+string,+text,+file,+dosfs /mnt/cdrom/setup >& wine.log

The result was 16 megs, which bzip2s down to a more manageable 260k.

Are there any users/developers out there who could tell me what to look 
for in the log file to find out what the message in the dialog box was 
supposed to be, so that I can help track this further? Does anyone want 
the log file?

Thanks,

--Rob
