Yes I thought nsis did work fine in the past, I dont' get any specific
error, the installer opens a window and then hangs. 

Last time I tried dmd with dsss under wine it did work (from your
snapshots), but there were errors when dsss issued a large command line to
the linker. I've been meaning to try it again and get it working. It is
quite useful to have dmd and various tools working under wine to make
cross-platform development easier.
