I have read this, but is does not explain what the behavour is/suppose to 
be when there exists an /mnt/windows. dosdevices/c: always points to 
../drive_c. So the doc does not answer the questions I asked:

But how are dosdevices/c: related to my /mnt/windows? Are files first 
looked up in dosdevices/c: and the in /mnt/windows/ if not found?

The reason I ask is that icewind dale on /mnt/windows/Program... does a 
FindFirstFileA("C:/program...") which wine translates to dosdevice/c: and 
ofcause does not find anything. Am I suppose to make a link to where the 
program is installed, as if I had installed it with wine?

When then program uses relative paths, wine translates it correctly to a 
z: path.
