wine users - Aug 2011 - Wine aborts setup.exe for weird reason: Need a FIX

Wine aborts setup.exe: Why?
WINE can't see setup.LST file during installation of simple win ME app

I'm installing eX-Sense Pro under wine in Natty. It's a simple win
me/win xp application.

The setup.exe runs fine, but wine seems to not see setup.LST - another file in
the same directory:

Setup cannot find C:\users\redwood\Temp\boom1000\setup.LST.
Setup is aborting...

During installation, the boom1000 directory is created and setup.exe is copied
into it, but setup.LST is not copied. When I set up boom1000 and copy setup.LST
into it, the install process creates boom1001 and repeats the same mistake.

Any ideas? Thx.

Wine version? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade. If that
doesn't fix it, post complete terminal output, including the command used to
run the installer. If the output is long, use pastebin and post a link.

This build is called 1.3.25 and is built specifically for Ubuntu Natty by Mathew
Young and includes the patches needed to enable USB support. The repository is
given below:

I cannot provide additional execution information since I double clicked on
setup.exe from Nautilus. The exact error message and behavior is described fully
above.

I have installed another package this way under wine (double click on setup.exe)
and it worked fine. In this particular case, my guess is that wine creates a
temp directory and copies setup.exe to it, but is unaware of the dependence on
setup.LST and therefore does not copy it to the temp directory. If I could
create a temp directory with all needed files and force wine to install from
there, it might solve the problem.

Please stop double clicking and provide a proper logging file.

I followed the example in FAQ 6.1 as you requested and the log.txt file is
completely empty, so I created a debug listing as described in FAQ 7.19.

The log.txt is now almost 103 thousand lines long. How do I post it for you?

Normally you place these on pastebin.com but that is probably larger
than they handle. Are all the lines repeated?

Those patches are not supported here. Retest in plain Wine.

Although the application must be registered to run, its installation is
performed completely independently of that. Registration occurs the first time
you run it. If you like, I could email you all the relevant files so you can try
installing it yourself.
