wine users - Mar 2007 - Windows Genuine Advantage checker

Is there a way to run The WindowsGenuineAdvantage.exe?
i tried it with Wine 0.9.29 and it crashed.

What I really wanted to do was run the WindowsVistaAdvisor.msi,
That proceeded and I got the .NET stuff downloaded and installed, but It
wanted IE version 5.5 or something.

I think if the fake IE stuff in Wine should have made that last step above
unecessary?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

NOTE: This is hardly critical and I will re-run and post the results if
necessary.

AFAICT, the advisor will try to obtain information about your hardware,
which will propably not work very well under wine. Regardless of that
you will run into the wall called .NET, which simply doesn't work on
wine at the moment.
