Total Commander is running under Wine and in TC I can do everything (without
replace one file with another one - TC crashed when I try to do this. I must
delete replaced file first) on FAT32 partitions. Most of installers works fine,
but some not. For example I can install "Millenium Race" but Operation
Flashpoint Resistance crashed. I think, the bug shows when installer try create
a file which exist.
