Wow, that works wonderfully; applying that patch and doing
a fresh tools/wineinstall yields a Wine that runs the installer properly.
If the executables that we mishandle like this really
do tend to have just those three filenames, this seems like a great workaround.
Can you submit that to wine-patches?

Thanks,
Dan
