Hello When I try to install MS Train Simulator the setup.exe program switches to full screen mode. This full screen mode hides all other installer windows. The window that asks me if I want to install Adobe and the window that asks me to replace CD1 with CD2 are not visible. Therefore it is necessary to guess what I should do during the installation and do the input blindly. The main installation window has a minimize button. When I press this minimizer button the installation screen minimizes. Afterwards it is impossible to get the installation screen back. It just stays minimized. This happened with wine version 0.9.46 under Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake). My graphics is on board. I am not interested in informations about hacks to get MS Train Simulator working, like take an old version of wine (i know that the installation worked already), use this or that original dll and after the installation you have to patch this and that file. I mail this bug report to help the wine developers to bring wine to a state where such things work out of the box. I think that approx. three wine versions ago the installation of MS Train Simulator worked without any windowing foreground / background problems. So probably some windowing changes where suboptimal.

Maybe try "Splash Screen Killer"? It installs from winetools under "Install tested software" -> Tools.

Not many of them read the users list. - Dan
