            Bug ID: 46114
           Summary: Internet Explorer 3 refuses to install (detects IE 4)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.19
          Hardware: x86-64
               URL: http://www.oldversion.com/windows/internet-explorer-3-
                    02-win95
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: jhansonxi at gmail.com
      Distribution: Ubuntu

Note: Let's skip the drama about "why" I need IE3 - I don't.  It's just an odd
problem I encountered while trying to test an old bug that may be related to
another bug I encountered while looking for a test case for yet another bug.

MD5: ef64ec92f811409ca81f1845fab773eb  msie302w95.exe

The installer starts without problems but once it begins installing it aborts
with the message:

"Internet Explorer 3.0 cannot be installed on a system that has Internet
Explorer 4.0 installed"

The installer contents can be extracted with:

msie302w95.exe /C /T:"c:\ie3"

The source of the message is infinst2.exe (occurs immediately when launched)
but I can't determine what it's being triggered by.  I've tried overrides,
deleting most of the files in WINEPREFIX, and deleting most of the keys in the
registry.  At this point I can't tell if it's a bug or not.  I can't see
anything in the debug output that indicates what file or registry keys it's
looking at.  Reading through the install scripts doesn't yield any obvious
clues.
