Hi John,

I have never used Google Earth, and I am fairly new to diagnosing Wine issues,
but I did a bit of basic research on your InstallShield error by doing a Web
search for InstallShield 6005.

- Could you tell us which Google Earth version are you using? Is it the absolute
latest one available?
- Did you try renaming your $HOME/.wine directory to $HOME/.wineold or some such
and trying again?
- When you run the installer with a WINEDEBUG option as in this example:
       WINEDEBUG=+all wine ./GoogleEarth.exe 2>&1 | tee all.winelog
  then does the log output that is produced right before the error shows up
onscreen provide any hints? If so, can you send us the relevant portion as an
attachment to this bug?
- The page 
http://forums.ngemu.com/software-discussion/48449-installshield-error.html
suggests you install DCOM98 from Microsoft, and if that doesn't work, to install
the latest Internet Explorer. Seems like too much work to install IE, but you
could always try downloading and installing MSFT's DCOM98 and see if that helps.

All, would it be a good idea for me to suggest to John that he do regression
testing if he still wants to try to fix the problem after all this, or would
that be an unfair suggestion considering he is not a veteran bug tracker yet :)
or for some other reason?
