I wanted to install a multimedia encyclopedia in my pc, it used the
usual version of install shield thet dosen't work with wine, but I got a
message
(In italian, the software I was installing is in italian) that can be
translated like this: Some system components must be updated before
performing install. Something was installed, including windows media
player 6.4, and wine crashed. I had a look in my fame windows
installation and I found this directory: Program Files=>Common
Files=>InstallShield=>Engine=>6=>Intel 32=>IKernel.exe
This is the installation dir of install shield in windows, so I have it
installed, but when I try to run an app that uses Install Shield, I get
this message from wine (In the shell)
ERROR: You need to merge the 'winedefault.reg' file into your
Wine registry by running: 'regedit winedefault.reg'
ERROR: You need to merge the 'winedefault.reg' file into your
Wine registry by running: 'regedit winedefault.reg'
Does this mean that I have a hope to use Install Shield under wine, and
if yes what am I ment to do to get it to work?

Just do what the message says: cd <wine> regedit winedefault.reg I did, and was able to run junoinst.exe version 5, which uses InstallSh****. It can't open its mailbox because of deficiencies in typelib handling, I think, but it installed. We're getting there.

What does cd <wine> mean? I have a dir named wine in my home, but thats my fake windows installation, where is this winlib program meant to be?
Up to wine-20020509 I've compiled wine from source, but I've had a lot of problems since then, I compiled wine-20020804 and it installed OK, but when I try to run a win or winelib app I get a message saying that there has been and unexpected something, starting debugger, and I just keep getting this message until i close my shell, using the CVS version didn't solve the problem, so I turned to an RPM. I can't give you the exact error messages that wine gives, me, I'm not at my pc, the rpm I'm using is stripped, can that be the problem? Where is the winedefault in the source, could I try and just copy it into the wine source tree and use it with my current wine installation?> On Tue, 13 Aug 2002, puoti@inwind.it wrote: > > > This may be a stupid question, but where am I meant to get > > winedefault.reg? running regedit winedefault.reg did not help, i just > > got a message saying that winedefault.reg could not be found, I searched > > my hole system, but didn't find it. > > Then the package you got wine from is defective. winedefault.reg is > part of the wine source.

Hello list, I copied the file into the regedit dir, and run it, the error message dosen't appear, the installation works a bit, but a the end you get a message that says: Installation completed: The software could not be installed correctly END. I click on end and the program exits. I will try with some other install shield dependet software, and see if that works, by the way, I'm working in getting the control pannel appellets to run in wine with no windows.
