The current version, 3.50, uses a whole screen splashscreen that wine 20040813 doesn't implement properly. The license agreement populates behind the red/orange splash screen and cannot be selected for viewing.
Does anyone know a workaround? I downloaded 3.4 and I am currently using that, but I'd like to use 3.5 and copy my world files over (and my scripts!)
The installer starts, I get the scaled background image (orange to yellow, top down) with the text 'MUSHclient Installer', but I don't get the license agreement, etc. That populates *behind* the splashscreen, and cannot be viewed for selection. It still shows as being there, if I alt+tab, but again, it never populates to the front. Maybe there's a focus issue with the splashscreen?
Here's the wine debug text, if it helps you:
---
fixme:win:SetWindowTextA cannot set text "MUSHclient Installer" of other process window (nil)
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40b468 "?" wait timed out in thread 000a, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)

I'd really like to use 3.5 because of it's support for the extended numpad (ctrl+numpad). As for scripting, I haven't figured out how to install vbscript in wine or how to script in python. :(
I had no success installing MUSHclient under Wine. The only tip I can offer is changing the view to desktop mode (as opposed to managed, etc.) This allows me to get beyond the yellow and orange background. Doesn't let me install though. Crashes some time after I get past my selections. It also depends on your distro. The wine releases since June of this year haven't worked well at all for me on Mandrake 10.0. They look great but, the moment a scrollbar moves, they lock up. And just FYI, I've had no luck with Wine running on KDE.
I think we're discussing two different things. I'm talking about the self-extracting install file, mushclient350.exe, and wine.
Ah yes, the "improved" version of NSIS doesn't seem to work under Wine. You could extract the MUSHclient files on a Windows PC if you have one, and copy the resulting directory to your Linux PC. If you don't have one I can do that here and upload it for you.
