           Summary: Photoshop CS4 installer asks to install gecko when
                    Wine run from a different folder
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.11
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: kennybobs at o2.co.uk


Summary might not make much sense, so hopefully I can explain it.
This doesn't just affect CS4, I have seen it with other apps but can't remember
what they are as I have just ignored it up to now.

Basically, if I run "wine setup.exe", then gecko is detected and loaded.
If I run "~/wine-git/wine setup.exe" or "/opt/wine-1.0.1/bin/wine setup.exe"
then the gecko downloader pops up and wants to download gecko.  It is, of
course, already installed.  In the case of the CS4 setup, it then just hangs.

An old wineserver is not running, there are no orphaned processes and ~/.wine
is clean.

Workaround is to run "wine winecfg" (the Wine that is "installed" in the
distro), close it, and run the other wine ("~/wine-git/wine setup.exe").
It would appear the "installed" Wine creates the necessary registry entries,
but the "other" Wines will not.

I hope that makes sense!
