Considering most of us here have stock installs, and wouldn't even know where
to begin to start sludging up registry permissions or faking NTFS ACLs, fake
user groups, etc, on our installation locations, it might be taken as a hostile
response (or worse, a valid response and promptly closed) that end-users are
somehow at fault for this problem.  It is irresponsible to try to blame this on
users as the administrators of their own system or package maintainers for
properly compiling wine.
