Hello,

thanks for the +voicewarmup MSI log from Windows.

--- snip ---
...
MSI (s) (98:78) [08:36:39:484]: Executing op:
ActionStart(Name=WriteEnvironmentStrings,Description=Updating environment
strings,Template=Name: [1], Value: [2], Action [3])
Action 8:36:39: WriteEnvironmentStrings. Updating environment strings
MSI (s) (98:78) [08:36:39:500]: Executing op:
ProgressTotal(Total=1,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=13200)
MSI (s) (98:78) [08:36:39:500]: Executing op:
UpdateEnvironmentStrings(Name=GMAXLOC,Value=D:\gmax\,Delimiter=[~],Action=1,)
WriteEnvironmentStrings: Name: GMAXLOC, Value: D:\gmax\, Action 1
...
--- snip ---

So it just shows the stuff I dumped with Orca and no failure is recorded.
The interesting value here is "Action 1".

This blog (WiX) gives an overview about MSI's prefixes and suffixes for
Environment table:
http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/03/28/from-msi-to-wix-part-13-installable-items-environment-variable.aspx

In the "Name" column for the "*" prefix, a missing "*" indicates "User
environment variable".
In the "Name" column for the "-" prefix, a missing "-" indicates "Do not remove
environment variable on uninstall."

My conclusion is that "name" without prefix is a user environment variable.
To be really sure can you look with registry editor in your Windows
installation (after app install) in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
There should be a registry key named "GMAXLOC" present.

Add conformance test for non-prefix case and fix Wine msi env_set_flags()
accordingly (introduce another flag or let flags == 0 valid case).

Regards
