[Wine]Re: one step closer to Flash MX 2004 installation

[Scott Ritchie]

As one last option, try installing Internet Explorer - the installer
might be depending on stuff that it provides.

It may simply be a deficiency in Wine. File a bug report, and please
post your experiences in the AppDB page for it here:

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2294

If you want to maintain the app and test it with new wine versions, feel
free.

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie
