[WINE] Setup.exe error and mapping drives

[Mark Knecht]

Julian,
   I am only guessing here. Do you have on older config file? Perhaps
it is defining some drives that are in conflict with your dosdrives
links? If so delete them from the config file and possibly rebuild
your links in .wine/dosdrives and then restart your Windows
application.

   As I say, this is a total guess and most probably wrong.

Good luck,
Mark
