Hello folks,

confirming, still present.

Actually this has nothing to do with Wine-Gecko itself.
It's a dupe of existing 32-bit/64-bit MSI client-server separation bugs.

The MSI client side bitness doesn't matter here (can be 32-bit or 64-bit).
In the end the product install is always handed over to the 64-bit Windows
Installer Service (this is how Windows handles it).

The "magic" lies in the default process processing of all package elements.
All elements are always assumed to be 32-bit unless marked otherwise, e.g. the
package authoring tool explicitly used 'System64Folder' and the like.
This allows a single 64-bit MSI package to install both, 32-bit and 64-bit
elements.

I looked into the package with ORCA and the folder paths are correctly authored
('GECKODIR' -> 'System64Folder').

Regards
