--- Comment #11 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

confirming, the downloader/updater still complains after some time with "could
not connect to the internet".

Interestingly the app has running winhttp session/transfers in background at
the time the message appears which contradicts the message text.

In contrast to 'winetricks -q winhttp', builtin winhttp get/post sequences seem
to have large time gaps in between (delayed).
Maybe these delays exceed some app internal timeout value, resulting in abort.

To verify it's still alive while the progress bar is just revolving, start
with:

--- snip ---
$ WINEDEBUG=+tid,+seh,+winhttp wine ./GoogleEarthSetup.exe
--- snip ---

$ sha1sum GoogleEarthSetup.exe 
b2e492cf6f9ae47fb99736d3096d8a7e46a7b59a  GoogleEarthSetup.exe

$ du -sh GoogleEarthSetup.exe 
800K    GoogleEarthSetup.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.7.9-209-gb231b4b

Additionally:

* this has nothing do to with 'mstask' component
* you should also avoid test with obviously broken WINEPREFIX

Regards
