            Bug ID: 52989
           Summary: Final Fantasy XI Setup window is not rendered properly
                    and appears stuck (msiexec)
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: chiitoo at gentoo.org
      Distribution: ---

When running the setup for Final Fantasy XI Online, which will execute 'msiexec
/i FINAL_FANTASY_XI.msi', the application window is not rendered properly and
appears to be frozen, but 'msiexec' will be using about 100% of one CPU core.

The window may or may not show the current process being "computing space
requirements", which will not be updated if the window is minimised and
restored for example, showing an empty frame.

After approximately 6 minutes (possibly depending on CPU power, the disk space
available, or/and other unknown factors), the installer will proceed to the
next step.

Unsure if related at all, but the 'msi' debug channel will print a lot of lines
like these with an ever increasing row number:

00fc:trace:msi:MSI_ViewFetch 0526D538 0062F610
00fc:trace:msi:msi_view_get_row view 0526D830, row 48244, rec 0062F610.
00fc:trace:msi:msi_view_refresh_row 01A65D78 0526D830 48244 055F45F8
00fc:trace:msi:msiobj_release object 055F45F8 destroyed

After proceeding further with the setup, there is another space requirements
check which makes the window behave similarly, but the time the window appears
hung is a lot shorter.  Other phases during the install, such as copying new
files also have times where the window isn't updated (blank/transparent after
minimise/restore).

This is no recent regression, and has been there for several years (possibly
ever since the release of the latest version of the installer in 2019).

Last tested with: wine-7.8-31-g95024c31551c3
