Probably not, but it depends entirely on the app.  Most windows apps
seem to ... expect to be able to write to drive c:

Yes, and has [Drive C] "Path" = "/mnt/windows"
and [wine]
"System" = "c:\\WINDOWS\\system32"

Spelling matters here, I think.  It is not finding that dll, so I guess
it doesn't know to look in \\WINDOWS\\system32, and probably "Path" =
has some misspellings too.  --debugmsg +file will show you at some
length where it is looking.

You may want to check the [Drive ] and "Device" = are correct and the
user is permitted to read them.
