I attempted to install IE6, following the instructions here: http://frankscorner.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=49&page=1 The only change I made to the default wine-20031212 was to add "Windows" = "win98" in the [Version] section of my ~/.wine/config. It looks, to my thread-ignorant self, that there's some kind of threading deadlock happening (see console output below, apologies for the stupid linebreaks). The dialog pop up, the console output gets as far as the "fixme:setupapi:SETUPX_CreateStandardLDDs" message, I then click on the "I Accept" checkbox and then on the "Next" button, and then it seems to deadlock. Thanks for any help John ie[0]$ wine ie6setup.exe fixme:cursor:CURSORICON_SimulateLoadingFromResourceW Animated icons not correctly implemented! 0x40f10000 fixme:cursor:CURSORICON_SimulateLoadingFromResourceW icon entry found! 0x40f10000 fixme:cursor:CURSORICON_SimulateLoadingFromResourceW icon size ok. offset=0x40f10074 fixme:setupapi:SETUPX_CreateStandardLDDs LDID_SRCPATH: what exactly do we have to do here ? fixme:dosfs:QueryDosDeviceW (L"A:") not detected as DOS device! fixme:dosfs:QueryDosDeviceW (L"B:") not detected as DOS device! fixme:setupapi:GenInstall16 unsupported flag: GENINSTALL_DO_REGSRCPATH fixme:setupapi:vcpUICallbackProc16 (0xa4a0, 0705, 0000, 00000000, 4036fa2c) - semi-stub fixme:setupapi:vcpUICallbackProc16 (0xa4a0, 070f, 0000, 00000000, 4036fa2c) - semi-stub fixme:setupapi:vcpUICallbackProc16 (0xa4a0, 0710, 0000, 00000000, 4036fa2c) - semi-stub fixme:setupapi:vcpUICallbackProc16 (0xa4a0, 070b, 0000, 00000000, 4036fa2c) - semi-stub fixme:setupapi:vcpUICallbackProc16 (0xa4a0, 070c, 0000, 00000000, 4036fa2c) - semi-stub fixme:setupapi:GenInstall16 unsupported flag: GENINSTALL_DO_CFGAUTO err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40332558 "?" wait timed out in thread 0019, blocked by 0018, retrying (60 sec) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40a6d720 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 0018, blocked by 0019, retrying (60 sec) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40332558 "?" wait timed out in thread 0019, blocked by 0018, retrying (60 sec) wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0018), starting debugger...
