I'm joining the thread sort of late so forgive me if I am interpreting things out of context.
But with the latest wine I'm not having any problems extracting OS software packages. I do however it get a boat load of errors, and it appears to quietly crash at the end. However all .cod files are there and so is the .sfi file. For example I just exacted 4.5.0 for an 8830. The files are here in wine: /home/josh/wine-rim/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/Shared/Loader Files/8830-v4.5.0.138_P3.4.0.30 This is a CDMA device so the .sfi is in a sub directory aptly named CDMA. I can only assume it will be different for other handhelds.
