Hello folks,

confirming.

The 64-bit installer unwraps a 32-bit installer engine (as WoW64 process) which
checks the OS version requirements.

The 32-bit installer engine can be started manually, given some arguments:

ret=00480ae9 
--- snip ---

The OSVERSIONINFO value evaluation has to be debugged to figure out what it's
actually looking for (can't be seen in trace log).

The installer checks for 'Windows XP SP3' minimum requirement which doesn't
exist in a 64-bit WINEPREFIX for obvious reasons: there is no SP3 for the
64-bit Windows XP. The latest one is 64-bit Windows SP2.

They probably never tested their software on a 64-bit Windows XP (SP2).
