Sensible suggestions, thanks.  I tried both but unfortunately
they didn't help (i.e., still failed with the alternate mount
point and the debug output didn't make much sense to me).

I wrote a little test program to see how GetWindowsDirectory
and GetSystemDirectory work in 16-bit apps under Wine.  The
output was not ideal so I submitted a bug report:

   http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7853

   "GetSystemDirectory returns wrong directory to 16-bit apps"

and a separate (but linked) report for VB 3.0 installation
in general:

   http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7854

It'll be interesting to see what response these reports get.
