wine users - Feb 2005 - Re: one step closer to Flash MX 2004 installation

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

I'm afraid the MX 2004 series will not work, as Wine doesn't support the
copy protection scheme used. The MX series can work though.
