Bear in mind, the reason they're doing this is almost certainly because they know that Wine users often go there to fill in missing pieces from Wine. Currently native DCOM does not seem to be protected, but native MSI is and also MDAC, Windows Media Player and Windows Scripting Host. As far as I'm concerned, this *is* bad: 1) It may make the lives of Wine users harder as they now have to deal with blocked validations (I suspect their standalone tool will get some bugfixes shortly) 2) It may mean there is more to come. As Ivan said, this is the first time they've done something like this - possibly not the last. thanks -mike
