wine users - Nov 2008 - How long for an msxml install?

I'm using winetricks to try and install msxml3 and the machine takes forever
and never seems to finish.  The CPU runs at max and according to the process
list, msiexec is running, but I've left it as long as 90 minutes and it
never seems to finish.  Is this normal?  The machine is a pretty fast box P4,
1.8 Ghz, 512 MB ram.  I installed richedit20 and richedit30 with no problem.

No, it's not normal. What version of Wine are you running? What you describe
sounds like a regression that affected 1.1.1, but it was fixed in 1.1.2.
