Hi everybody. 
 
I was using build 20021007, that was not available to select for "version", on 
Redhat 7.3. I tried to install the Interbase (an SQL database from Borland) 
client and the installer reported that it could not copy any of the files 
from the install subdirectory to the destination. Installation failed. 
I managed to produce this debug output from wine: 
 
08073ed8:Call kernel32.CopyFileW(402af0f8  
L"C:\\ib_install\\client\\ibinstall.dll",402af150 L"C:\\Program

trace:file:CopyFileW L"C:\\ib_install\\client\\ibinstall.dll" -> L"C:\\Program

Files\\Borland\\InterBase\\" 
08073ed8:Ret  kernel32.CopyFileW() retval=00000000 ret=4131ee2f 
 
What I can see here is that the destination is not a file name (as it is  
supposed to be) but the name of a subdirectory. WINE does not like that. 
The installer works flawlessly on any known windows platform, this  
looks like an undocumented feature of windows to me.

In this case it is a documented feature: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/createfile.asp 
Go down near the bottom to the header "Directories", and it says "An application 
cannot create a directory with CreateFile; it must call CreateDirectory or 
CreateDirectoryEx to create a directory." 
 
And indeed, running on WinNT, if there is no such directory, this call sets the 
LastError to ERROR_INVALID_NAME. I have seen another program that expects that 
and then makes a call to create the directory.

Sorry, but this is not what I meant. The destination directory does exist  
already. The problem is that the destination ends with a '\' sign. Windows  
would append the actual filename to the destination and try to open that file.  
The resulting filename would be C:\\Program  
Files\\Borland\\InterBase\\ibinstall.dll". But WINE doesn't do that.

Quite right. I see that now.
