I've requested a CD so I can check it out myself. In the meantime, can you try installing it into a fresh .wine directory (i.e. no native dlls)? If that doesn't work (and I'm assuming it won't), please send me the log generated by reproducing the problem with WINEDEBUG=+wininet,+text,+winhttp You'll want to redirect stdout and stderr to a file, and email the file to dank@xxxxxxxxx
