Hi !
I'm trying to install Dragon Naturally Speaking in a WINE "fake windows" setup, and I have troubles with InstallShield.
I tried this a while ago (with wine 20031212) and had *partial* success : The app installed, by I had trouble with the character set settings and botched the voice training, 'cause I couldn't read the screen ...
I reinstalled a new machine recently (the previous one died due to a failing power supply ...). Wine is now 20040716. I managed to install Office 2000 (and IE6, which is needed for MS Access ...), along with a couple other apps, working *great*. Note : yes, I *did* install DCOM98.
However, any time I try to install Dragon Naturally Speaking, I stumble on the fact that InstallShield is unable to see the free space on the system "disk" : according to the log, Wine reports -1 Mb free, while Dragon tells it needs 40 Mb. Therefore, InstallShield aborts the installation.
Had you CDed into the cdrom drive to run setup? I doubt it will help, but an easy test might be to try to CD into your Wine C: drive and then run setup from there. Maybe the installer is really dumb.

Probably what you will need to do is to run the setup something like this:
WINEDEBUG=+relay wine setup.exe &> wine.log
That will make the program run really slow, and create a very large file, possibly 100s of MBytes, so you need lots of empty disk space. Then I typically split the file:
split --bytes=2m wine.log
That creates a whole bunch of smaller files, requiring lots more disk space;) Then grep for the error message:
grep "Setup requires" x*
Hopefully that shows up in one of the files. Open the file and see what was happening before the error message. If it is not clear, try deleting obviously irrelevant or repeated lines, and maybe post a few hundred of the lines before the error message.
