Not sure if the +relay log is any use, but here's the last part.

I can confirm the bug in Vista mode. The install succeeds in XP mode. This is the log when run in XP mode, as reference.

In there is:

trace:msi:MSI_ProcessMessage ((nil) 0 10 L"1: SkypeOpenFirewallXP 2: failed to change firewall settings 3:  ")

So perhaps it's not where the problem is in Vista mode.

Possibly, but if you look at the .msi trace, it doesn't do anything else but query and try to set the firewall settings.
Plus, err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {e2b3c97f-6ae1-41ac-817a-f6f92166d7dd} not registered
This OLE class is related to the Vista firewall (according to a Google).

May simply be an OLE problem at this point.

Still present in wine 1.1.36

Hello,

installs perfectly in both winver's. You can compare both WINEPREFIXes, they are identical (minus some unrelated stuff).

The only difference is that Skype isn't automatically started in winver=Vista by setup when finishing installaton.
This is not a showstopper - you can manually start skype.exe after install.
The Firewall settings failure is unrelated and harmless (it also happens for WinXp config).

That requires some work ...

Hello folks,

obviously still present.

Fortunately Dmitry started to work on this, introducing Task Scheduler COM server infrastructure. See recent patchset on wine-patches.

This bug might be a good 'testcase' ;-)

Hello folks,

the initial infrastructure is now in place - thanks Dmitry.

Still fails though which will be subject of new bugs.

Fixed by commit http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/c0ecc1025776e18472aba21c15150f55a58bff82 (last of series).

Regards

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.10.
