I think this is an interesting issue. I *think* I'm seeing different
results with Wine on some setup programs based on which if the
following I do:

1) cd ~mark; wine /mnt/cdrom/install.exe

2) cd /mnt/cdrom; wine install.exe

3) cd ~mark/.wine/dosdevices/c:/; wine /mnt/cdrom/install.exe

The problem I am sometimes seeing is this issue that came up in an
email a few weeks again where there seem to be file permissions
problems:

warn:file:CreateFileW Unable to create file L"C:\\desktop.ini" (status c0000034)
trace:file:CreateFileW returning 0xffffffff
trace:file:FindFirstFileExW L"C:\\PROG~FBU" 0 0x77acd930 0 (nil) 0
trace:file:RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U

trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L"C:\\PROG~FBU" 520 0x77acd67c 0x77acd8e0)

In the line immediately above the path should have been c:\Program
Files, or some 8.3 automatically created version of that. However,
depending on where I run from I seem to get different failures.

Does anyone have a definitive statement about which of the 3 ways
above (or some other way !) is the right way to do an install under
Wine?
