            Bug ID: 45972
           Summary: Lego Mindstorms EV3 1.3.1 installer crashes
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.17
          Hardware: x86
               URL: https://le-www-live-s.legocdn.com/downloads/LMS-EV3/LM
                    S-EV3_Full-setup_1.3.1_en-US_WIN32.exe
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, Installer
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi

Warning: winetricks has a recipe to install Lego Mindstorms EV3 as 'ev3'
however it installs a lot of unnecessary things like vcrun2005, ie8 and
dotnet40 and after that it downloads an old version of the software.

In order to reproduce this bug just download the installer specified in
URL field and run it. After initial unpacking and pressing "Next" the
installer crashes, and shows its own crash handler window with a backtrace.

Fortunately after the installer has crashed it leaves in the %TEMP%
directory full installation tree under "LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Home Edition"
sub-directory. In order to reproduce further crashes and make the investigation
of the bug easier just locate in that directory tree MetaUninstaller.msi under
Products/MetaUninstaller/MU and run 'wine msiexec /i MetaUninstaller.msi'.

To make long story short: the crash is caused by silently failing "NIPaths"
custom action due to a failed MsiViewModify() call. MsiViewModify() failure
happens because of the check
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/HEAD:/dlls/msi/msiquery.c#l696
696     if ( mode == MSIMODIFY_UPDATE && rec->query != query )
697         return ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILED;
since for the remote MSIRECORD structures rec->query field always stays not
initialized (NULL). Commenting out this check makes both the MetaUninstaller
and Lego Mindstorms EV3 installations work, however this breaks the tests.

Probably one of our MSI experts has an idea how to fix this issue properly.
