Hey, that fixed that problem!  Can you submit that patch to wine-patches,
or is it not ready?

But winzip 9 still doesn't install, at least with default settings;
now the wrong value for default destination comes up in the installation
dialog box, "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\WinZip".  Seems like
some environment variable isn't being expanded somewhere?

And even if you put in C: instead of %SystemDrive%, installation
goes a little further, but fails with
"WinZip internal error in file install.c line 930".
Here's the log it created:

Please include as detailed as possible a description of what you

the problem here.  In particular, please tell us what steps led to
the problem, and whether it occurs always or sometimes after these
steps are followed.

Thank you
