Hello,

what kind of bug report is this?
Just like "doesn't work" and people should figure out the rest...
Next time your bug report will be immediately closed INVALID without any
investigation.

>From your trace log:

System information:
    Wine build: wine-1.4.1
    Platform: i386
    Host system: Linux
    Host version: 3.5.0-17-generic
--- snip ---

So this might be "Samsung Galaxy S 4G Kies Mini Software" you downloaded and
tried to run.

Also your Wine version is old, upgrade.

Download: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T959HABTMB#

Installing the software with recent Wine version.
The installer runs some tool "DeleteVirtualStore.exe" which requires .NET

You need .NET Framework 2.0 (though default Mono might be sufficient, can't
verify).

--- snip ---
$ find ~/.wine -type f \( -iname "*.dll" -or -iname "*.exe" \) | xargs -i file
{} | grep assembly | cut -f1 -d: | xargs -IX sh -c "echo X && (hexdump -C X |
grep BSJB -B0 -C2)"
/home/focht/.wine/drive_c/users/focht/Temp/{46E5424B-2E82-4F7C-952C-902674D33AB9}/DeleteVirtualStore.exe

--- snip ---

If Mono doesn't work: 'winetricks -q dotnet20' will do.

The installer tries to download WMP11 from some server:

--- snip ---
0009:trace:wininet:InternetCrackUrlW
L"http://61.109.169.252/linkdata/KiesMini/Util/wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe":
scheme(L"http") host(L"61.109.169.252")
path(L"/linkdata/KiesMini/Util/wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe") extra(L"")
--- snip ---

It takes 1-2 minutes until the connection attempt times out.
During that time the installer seems frozen in a blocking call (expected due to
crapping coding).

In the end it gives "Failed to download WMF11. Please check your Internet".

I verified with Linux network tools/browser -> the host is unreachable.

So where does this IP come from?
The installer uses InstallShield with encrypted script.

Decrypting/decompiling gives:

--- snip ---
label_004C:
/* 0000B5FB: 0006 */    s0000 =
"http://61.109.169.252/linkdata/KiesMini/Util/";
/* 0000B632: 0006 */    s0001 = "wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe";
/* 0000B657: 0014 */    s0007 = s0002 ^ "Expand";
/* 0000B66A: 0014 */    s0005 = s0007 ^ "wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe";
--- snip ---

Hard coded server address nice.

You can't make Wine responsible for crappy software and server infrastructure.

The bug is invalid.

Regards
