            Bug ID: 45919
           Summary: Installation of msi file fails after a former
                    uninstallation
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.17
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: reinhold.hoffmann at hotmail.com
      Distribution: Ubuntu

With Wine 3.17 a regression bug came in. For certain msi files the installation
fails in a sequence of the following steps:

Sequence:
---------
(1) installation of msi file - Result: OK
(2) uninstall same app with "Wine uninstaller" (with Remove) - Result: OK, app
gets uninstalled
(3) installation of same msi file as in (1) - Result: ERROR: Installation
Incomplete
(4) installation of same msi file as in (1) - Result: OK

Observation:
------------
In step (3) the installation fails but performing the same installation again
(step (4)), it is successfull. It looks as if in step (2) something does not
get properly uninstalled and as a result the next installation fails. But with
this failed installation in step (3) the clean-up finally happens and the
installation in step (4) is successful. 

Performing the same sequence with msiexec debug logging is always OK.

In Wine-3.16 as well as in previous versions this installation sequnece had
worked perfect. So, I conclude that with 3.17 a regression bug came in.
(not sure if this issue is related to the fix of Bug 41325)

I will try to add more verbose data (comparison of Wine-3.16 vs. Wine-3.17) in
order to fully understand the bug.

Reinhold
