            Bug ID: 44694
           Summary: Puredata 0.48: cscript, cannot install plugins
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.3
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: jp-dev at inbox.ru
      Distribution: ---

Pd has a feature to download and install plugins into the software from an
internet repository.

Most plugins are contained in zip files. On Wine, these zips don't extract.
It's because the Windows version invokes a vbs file for the extraction, and in
Wine this fails.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64, latest

How to reproduce:
 1) Install Pd 0.48 vanilla. (http://puredata.info/downloads/pure-data)
 2) Run bin/pd.exe. Open Help>Find externals.
 3) Enter search terms for a particular package (eg. "cyclone")
 4) Pick one of the .zip versions. It shows the destination folder. Click yes
to validate.
 5) There is a silent failure. The destination folder is empty.

This appears in the console
003a:fixme:vbscript:VBScript_SetScriptState unimplemented
SCRIPTSTATE_INITIALIZED
003a:fixme:vbscript:do_mcall NULL obj

Detail:
  This is the source of the script in question, relevant lines highlighted,
embedded in Tcl code.

In my limited understanding of vbs, I think it's because Shell.NameSpace is
attempted on a path which is not an ordinary directory, but a zip archive.
It returns the NULL value and results in the error message seen above.
