I was attempting to extract the contents of python-3.1.3.amd64.msi under wine 1.3.17 32bit, using the following command: wget http://python.org/ftp/python/3.1.3/python-3.1.3.amd64.msi msiexec /a python-3.1.3.amd64.msi /qb TARGETDIR=out #tried c:\\out as well and it exits immediately with the following (which I believe is a red herring, 32bit also says this) fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented. I tried this out on windows XP 32bit, and it extracted the files just fine. the 32bit python extracted just fine (http://python.org/ftp/python/3.1.3/python-3.1.3.msi) (Note: Not trying to install it, just extract the files within for use within a bash script) -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com
