For some reason, it wants to write into z:\ on your system.

When I run it, C: returns drive type 3, not 4, and it writes into c:\

winbase.h:#define DRIVE_FIXED                3
winbase.h:#define DRIVE_REMOTE               4

So the app is looking for a hard drive, and C isn't one, but Z is.
Hilarity ensues.

Can you set the drive type of C: to 'hard drive' in winecfg?

Is there something funny about your setup that might have caused this,
e.g. is your home directory on a file server?
