I agree to your comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/+bug/1383214 that this is most probably a dupe.
Did you actually verify yourself that the problem also exists in 14.04 and earlier versions and is really the same (at least the same "err:msidb:get_tablecolumns" lines)? Based on my post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/+bug/1383214/comments/4 I strongly assume that something else is the problem there. Also you might check with which GCC Mint compiled the working Wine version. If it was not 4.9 that would explain why it is working there. Or another way to go: apply the patch from my post to the wine sources, compile and test. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414995 Title: wine will not open Microsoft .msi installer files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/+bug/1414995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
