Hello folks,

confirming.

Please stick to _one_ issue which is about the demo installer failure.

The demo ships a modified DX runtime installer which got stripped off some
parts, namely 'DXNT.CAB' file and friends which carry the actual runtime
payload.

This is intended because only the DX minimum version detection functionality
ought to be used.

dxdiag (x.xx.xxxx.xxxx format) -> version 4.09.0000.0904 = DirectX 9.0c
registry (x.xx.xx.xxxx format) -> version 4.09.00.0904 = DirectX 9.0c

Unfortunately this DX runtime installer has nasty bug (comparing two floats
where one float never gets set, thanks MS) which lets the result always be <
9.0c, despite what DX runtime (9.0c, 10.x, 11.x) is installed.

This wouldn't be a problem if some 'genius' wouldn't have decided to castrate
the installer by stripping the payload away (AFAIK such modification isn't even
legal).
The failure messages in log file 'Unable to find cab list' and 'Installation
ended with value -2' are the result of that.

Because of that the installer always aborts with the DX runtime part and can
never proceed to the point of actual game demo install.

Can someone retest this demo installer on Windows and check if it also says 'DX
9.0c required' and refuses to go further?
If yes -> invalid.

$ wine --version
