Powerbuilder is a big "kitchen-sink" sort of application
with six subinstallers.  To install it, you have to first
install MDAC 2.6 or higher.  I installed MDAC 2.7sp1,
since I have luck installing that into an empty
wine directory.  Because of bug 3636, I use a script
to unpack all the registered CABs the MDAC installer
installs but doesn't unpack; I'll include the script I use.

To reproduce this, 
register for the Powerbuilder 10 trial at sybase.com,
download and unzip all five or six zipfiles,
blow away ~/.wine,
install mdac 2.7sp1,
and run the 'common installer', PB10Eval/PowerBuilder/setup.exe

There will be ten or so little warning dialog boxes
complaining about DLLs not being able to register 
themselves, but that doesn't seem to be a huge issue.
The real problem seems to be that the installer
gets into a loop or locks up after about the fourth
subinstaller.

Now, I don't know how many people will need to
install PowerBuilder under Wine, but it's a nice
test of whether wine can handle a complicated 
database-ish installer.
