[Wine] unable to find a volume for file extraction

I'm trying to install the zune software under wine and I'm getting smacked with the error "unable to find a volume for file extraction, do you have the proper permissions?".  I've done some research and found that windows installers won't always install to network drives, so I tried the workaround suggested here (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2007-March/024682.html) but to no avail.

I then found some information here (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5351) on the way certain windows installers make calls to the disk drives, apparently they don't all use the assigned drive letters, but a schema like harddiskdrive1 etc.

I'm not quite getting how to use this fix though....I tried changing the name of ~/.wine/drive_c to harddiskdrive1 but it had no effect.  I looked up the mapping of the drives in wine config but you can't change the location of drive c, it's static and set to .wine/drive_c by default.  Can someone explain how to use this fix or any other solutions to this problem?
