- msiexec is GUI app, not CUI.
Is this a Wine bug then? It has it listed as a console based application. When you run msiexec directly on Windows I know it does not start a console window so I guess this would imply it is a GUI with a hidden window right?
Just another Wine-ism. The real rundll32 and regsvr32 are not console apps either, and Wine has them as console apps. Also, a "GUI" app doesn't need to really have any window at all, hidden or not. ;) Regsvr32 is one example of a GUI app that does not create any windows. On the other hand, a GUI app can still use stdin, stdout, and stderr when they are valid, for use with redirection or pipes.
