[Wine] Problems installing Watchguard Firebox System software in wine (installshield)

[Randall Walls]

Any chance you can upgrade that wine install to 20050930? I don't know 
if Gentoo has this package in their repository, but if all else fails 
you could always try a compile from source. There have been patches 
against the wine tree that relate to some of the DCOM work that has been 
going on, and this may get you a bit past where you are. There are a 
number of hits through google for 'Watchguard WFS wine linux' where 
people have claimed that it can be done (WFS on Linux using Wine) but no 
mention of which version.

Having the dlls in system32 and just linking to system should be fine. 
Out of curiosity, did you try an install before doing all the DCOM98 
stuff? I'd be curious to see if wine provides any more output for you 
than the single line message that it is returning right now. Normally 
you would get a good deal of feedback in the terminal that should give 
you SOMETHING to go on. I would try the install with a straight $wine 
app.exe and from there we may be able to figure where it is failing and 
then determine what, if any, native dlls need to be used.
