windows installer can't create directory in wine

[luv]

Hi,

I have a big problem installing my VB6 app in Wine. It says that it can't create a directory.

I have tried installing a simple VB6 program in Wine and it works. But my real app(kinda huge with non MS DLLs) can't be installed.

Btw, I'm using Debian(non stable version) and the latest version of Wine.

Also, what do I have to do so that I can install in Wine with MSI versions of installers?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Without seeing the exact error I can't say why it can't create a directory, double check your wine.conf and make sure all the paths are valid and writeable

The MSI installers are a REAL pain to install, I've only been able to install older versions and even then rarely.

Where did you get wine, from winehq.org in a .deb or .tar.gz?

Hi,

I think all the paths are valid. By the way, can I set the folder/file to being writeable in the wine.conf file? And how to do it?

Another thing, I create another installer using the PDW of Visual Studio 6. This time no folder will be created. I created the folder called 'database' manually before running the app and that's after a successfull installation. Supposedly the installer will do that for me.

Also during the installation, I found the following error.

An error occured while registering the file "C:\Windows\System\itircl.dll' and some other DLLs like hhctrl, msadox.dll, scrun.dll.

Another one:
Unexpected error found -2147221168
Automation error

But the last error is in my program. I think it has to do with writing/reading registry. Because on the first launch of the program, it will read and write some registry info. Please tell me something about registry issues in Wine.

Wine is from WineHQ

Thanks a lot for your help.
