    Hmmm...I was going to suggest PlayOnLinux, but won't now! Do you know if this is a known issue? Are others reporting the same problem(s)? Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

      I see a LOT of reports about it from all distros AND Windows users.
      The problem relates to the Installshield
      /home/jerry/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/InstallShield/Professional/
      and IsProBE.tlb file. Some get by with deleting the 'Professional" subdirectory and retrying the install, but that doesn't work for me.
      I've also preloaded a bunch of XP dlls, cabs, linkers, compilers and other tools but to no avail.

        Well, shoot. That's not good.

        Do you have a different computer you can use for your wife's project until this gets fixed? (And for playing games, perhaps?)

        I'm confused by something: why would window$ users use wine?

          Her computer is a 32bit 10" notebook, Acer Aspire 0D521, that runs so slow it can lose a race against molasses.

          People using WINE on Windows was a question that I had until I realized that many activate WSL or WSL2 and install Ubuntu to use WINE to run exe's that they don't want contaminating their Windows host, mainly old or hacked games and/or commerical apps.
