Hello folks,

just for documenting the issue.

A user in #winehq wanted to install Anno 1602 and it failed for him.

I've investigated some Anno 1602 bugs in the past (bug 13754 for example) but
never encountered this.

I bought the original game cheaply, CD Cover says "Windows 95/98".
Date of files on CD is November, 2001

Installs fine in 32-bit WINEPREFIX using Wine 1.6, 1.7.x

UBISoft provides an installer fix for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, indicating
that the 1998 installer can't work on modern Windows OS (various 'Anno' online
forums mention this).
It's also unlikely that MS provides a shim for this otherwise the installer
would work for Windows 2K/XP users.

>From the Anno 1602 forums I gathered that the actual (german) error message
might be:

"Datei kann nicht kopiert werden: Der angegebene Dateiname ist ungültig oder zu
lang. Geben Sie einen anderen Dateinamen an."

Wine-Staging has a hack/workaround:
