 Phil, the quotation marks are necessary because the path contains a
 space (C:\Program Files), and Linux considers a space the end of the
 command unless it is either escaped (C:\\Program\ Files; the extra "\"
 being an escape character to tell a Linux application --which Wine
 is--that the character following the \ should be considered part of the
 command. This is why the first forward slash is escaped as well as the
space, so that Linux can recognize it, otherwise Wine would read the
path as C:Program Files), or enclosed in quotes (single or
double), which tell a Linux application to use the quoted command or
path 'as is'.
