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

[Kevin Hanser]

Well, it turns out that after I upgraded to 20050930, it ran the setup 
w/out any native DLL's!!  Awesome!  After install, I had to copy 
MFC42.dll from my windoze machine before it would run, but after that it 
appears to be running great!

thanx!
