           Summary: Can't install Yahoo messenger 8.1
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://messenger.yahoo.com/download.php
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, Installer
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: juan_lang at yahoo.com


I tried installing yahoo messenger.  I downloaded it from the above URL and ran
it.  It complains about the version of IE being bad, but there are two simple
workarounds:

1) In the dialog that appears, press No.  (I don't know what the question is,
but Yes exits the install.)
2) Download winetricks and run 'winetricks fakeie6'.

After installing, it puts up a message box saying "Download of file has been
cancelled or interrupted.  404 Not Found".  The dialog behind the message box
says it's downloading c:\windows\temp\4975648\flash_inst.exe.  Looking in this
directory shows that it isn't there.
