MSI Installer

[tk421]

Hi!,

I am trying random things with Wine and I wanted to try to install a complex application packaged as MSI.

I downloaded LibreOffice (looks like a good test!) but I am unable to run the installer.

I have tried wine stable and wine stagging with the same results

# wine --version
wine-3.13 (Staging)

# wine msiexec /i LibreOffice_6.0.5_Win_x86.msi
000b:fixme:winediag:start_process Wine Staging 3.13 is a testing version containing experimental patches.
000b:fixme:winediag:start_process Please mention your exact version when filing bug reports on winehq.org.
0009:fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet

And then the program exist. How can I successfully run a MSI installer ?

Regards,

If you download the MSI from torrent rather than directly from the page it works.

The torrent file contains all the software, while downloading directly from the website the MSI file is actually quite small.

Is that behavior different from the one on windows?

That's irrelevant...

The direct download Libreoffice msi file works fine for me...
I can launch the main suite selection tool or the individual applications.

As I've posted in your duplicate (why??) thread...
