HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

­Make sure you operate on a clean WINEPREFIX (~/.wine)!


Download the full PSDK into temp folder as follows:

$ for ((i=1; i<=10; i++)) ; do wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/2600.2180/FULL/PSDK-FULL.$i.cab ; done
$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/2600.2180/FULL/PSDK-FULL.bat
$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/2600.2180/FULL/Extract.exe

Run the supplied batch file to extract all cabinets to temp PSDK install folder:

­$ wine start.exe PSDK-FULL.bat "C:\psdktemp"

Execute the installer from "C:\psdktemp" folder

$ wine ./setup.exe­

Installing components action takes a considerable time (consuming 100% CPU)

This is bug 14168. The installer takes a considerable when the Installing components action is processed on install page. Depending on machine speed it takes 5-10 minutes until it really begins to copy files.

Wine's msi component executes large table joins which causes this performance hit (CPU usage 100% for long time). Just be patient.
