             Bug #: 29578
           Summary: Internet Explorer 9 installer for Vista needs
                    photometadatahandler.dll and xpsprint.dll
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.36
          Platform: x86-64
               URL: http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/8/7/08768091-
                    35BC-48E0-9F7F-B9802A0EE2D6/IE9-WindowsVista-x86-enu.e
                    xe
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: RandomAccountName at mail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The IE9 installer for Vista fails immediately with the message "Internet
Explorer needs an update before installing." The installation log
(C:\windows\IE9_main.log) shows:

00:01.994: ERROR:   Checking version for
C:\windows\System32\Photometadatahandler.dll: Failed. (Couldn't get File
Version Info size.)
00:02.021: ERROR:   Checking version for C:\windows\System32\XpsPrint.dll:
Failed. (Couldn't get File Version Info size.)
00:02.042: ERROR:   System version and prerequisite validation checks failed.

After making copies of ieframe.dll named photometadatahandler.dll and
xpsprint.dll, this check succeeds:

00:01.329: INFO:    Version Check of
C:\windows\System32\Photometadatahandler.dll: 8.0.7601.17601 >= 7.0.0.0 (True)
00:01.354: INFO:    Version Check of C:\windows\System32\XpsPrint.dll:
8.0.7601.17601 >= 7.0.6002.18363 (True)

The installer then gets far enough to download IE9, but still fails later.
