           Summary: Case Insensitivity causes Files not to be found
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
        ReportedBy: kyethespy at liquid2k.com


Some installers, when running in wine, install items with the correct case -  
but for some reason wine doesn't keep the correct case, and makes it all  
lowercase.  
  
This has caused problems in some installers I have run.  
  
One example is Family Tree Maker 9.0  
- This installer creates a file called TextEditor.dll - but when it is 
installed, it ends up being called texteditor.dll (note the lack of capitals) 
- and Family Tree maker gets confused at that. 
 
I realise that most people will not have this application - but i'm sure there 
are other examples around.
