Wine and programs using BDE (Borland Database Engine)

[Stefan Both]

Dear all,
I bought a new laptop to replace my wife's old one (winXP).
The ONLY (Windows) program she really needs is WinZep.
(No, itś not misspelled, it is a program for teachers used
for writing school certificate). I have to install it, otherwise
my wife won't accept Linux as her "new" operating system.

The program uses the Borland Database Engine. I downloaded
the version, that includes DBE. I executed the file winzep via
terminal (wine wzp_7200_bde.exe &> log.txt). The installer
appears, asking me things like Licence agreement. Clicking OK.
A new window appears showing the bars of the installation process.
That's it. The install program freezes.
The log file just shows the following content:
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100.

I'm happy about any suggestions. Nearly every teacher
from "her" school would use Linux, but is still using windows
because of that single program they have to use.

Greetings
Stefan

If I follow the steps 10.1. How can I get a debugging log (a.k.a. terminal output)?,
the log file just shows the following content:
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100.
There is no crash dialog, and I've allready installed wine1.4-dbg.
If I follow the steps described in 10.2. How do I get a debug trace?,
the output.txt file in the temp folder is incrasing for more than 1 GigByte.
I terminated the process at 233MB, packed it, and appended the file here.
You wrote: file a bug. I hope, I did the job right.
