Win InstallShield Error

[Michael Loose]

K. So far , so good.

I've just tried the current  release of  Codeweavers wine-release (aka 
"Crossover Office"), installed dcom95(!) as suggested by the setup
routine and was able to do a couple of installs .
 
This is not an explanation for what went wrong, but at least a 
workaround for people who just like to get it going.

The installer works flawlessly even on RH 9, and the demo-download from 
Codeweavers website, which was currently turned off, is back on.
The installer puts the fake windows and the c:/ in unusual locations, do 
an updatedb after you've finished and locate where your stuff went.
Add /opt/cxoffice/bin to your $PATH to call wine from elsewhere, some 
Win-Apps do not show up in the Launcher.

I'm still stuck with my DV-stuff, but this is at least a kind of result...

If i hadn't been desperated, i'd never tried their stuff :-), but it 
looks pretty good and is surely worth buying for anyone who is short of 
time and just wants to use the stuff.
