Using :
Code: Select all
rm -rI .wine
WINEARCH=win32 winecfg ; and set default to Win XP
mkdir .wine/drive_c/tmp
wine /mnt/www/developer/download/install/Vs6sp6.exe ; to C:\tmp
wine .wine/drive_c/tmp/setupsp6.exe
fails with "Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6 Setup was not completed successfully."
I found old posts in the forum but nothing about this message...
Any help welcome

Hows about:
Code: Select all
rm -rI .wine
WINEARCH=win32 wineboot -u
winetricks winxp
winetricks vb6run
A lot of MS Windows installers need workarounds to install successfully under Wine.
In fact the key reason for the existence of (and need to use) the
winetricks Wine helper script.
Please ensure that you are using an up-to-date version of Wine - current release is:
6.0-rc3 - and
winetricks - for your (
unspecified) Linux distribution.
Debian, Ubuntu and Mint all package obsolete versions of these packages.

Thank you very much, but this changes nothing : I have the same message.

What is the output from:
Code: Select all
winetricks --version
wine --version
If it isn't:
Code: Select all
winetricks --version
20201206-next - sha256sum: 0feed209ffbf9d38dd1dd0ed93f9303c12a585077c6efe35ea7525d1004b3b8b
wine --version
wine-6.0-rc3
Then you haven't followed my advice - to update your packages!
Thanks
Bob

Exact...
(I had installed stable version 5.0.3....)
But after correction, I have the same message...
vb6run intalls correctly, but when I try to install setupsp6.exe, it stops with this message.
Thank you anyway !
