tried installing vcrun2005sp1 again today with a totally fresh wine directory. d3dx9, .net 2.0, vcrun2005 and vcrun2005trial all seemed to install correctly (trial is required by winetricks to install vcrun2005sp1) when i tried to install sp1 again it goes for a while but then eventually fails again. The terminal output is far too long to even post here but the end of it is this > fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"leecarey" (nil) 0x33e860 (nil) 0x33e864 0x33e858 - stub > fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"leecarey" 0x23ee750 0x33e860 0x23ef040 0x33e864 0x33e858 - stub > fixme:msi:MsiSourceListGetInfoW Unhandled context 4 > fixme:msi:MsiSourceListGetInfoW Unhandled context 4 > fixme:msi:MsiGetMode unimplemented run mode: 0 > fixme:msi:ACTION_ValidateProductID partial stub: template L"77718<````=````=````=````=`````>@@@@@" key L"JWFMGDGVMWKPVD39RX6PW2GQY" > err:module:import_dll Library sqdedev.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\users\\leecarey\\Temp\\msicbeb.tmp") not found > err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction failed to load dll L"C:\\users\\leecarey\\Temp\\msicbeb.tmp" (126) > fixme:msi:ACTION_CustomAction Rollback only action... rollbacks not supported yet > fixme:msi:ACTION_CustomAction Rollback only action... rollbacks not supported yet > fixme:msi:msi_unimplemented_action_stub MsiUnpublishAssemblies -> 357 ignored L"MsiAssembly" table values > fixme:msi:ITERATE_RemoveODBCDataSource Use ODBCSourceAttribute table > fixme:odbc:SQLConfigDataSourceW (nil) 6 L"Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)" L"DSN=Xtreme Sample Database 2005" > fixme:odbc:SQLConfigDataSourceW L"DSN=Xtreme Sample Database 2005" > fixme:msi:MsiSourceListGetInfoW Unhandled context 4 > fixme:msi:MsiSourceListGetInfoW Unhandled context 4 > err:cabinet:FDICopy PFDI_OPEN returned zero for C:\windows\Installer\_138_RTL_x86_enu_ATL_MFC_Include.cab. > err:msi:extract_cabinet FDICopy failed > err:msi:ACTION_InstallFiles Failed to extract cabinet: L"_138_RTL_x86_enu_ATL_MFC_Include.cab" > err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallFiles" returned 1603 > err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"ExecuteAction" returned 1603 > ------------------------------------------------------ > Note: command 'wine VS80sp1-KB971090-X86-INTL.exe' returned status 69.
