           Summary: Windows Installer creates Game Explorer shortcuts in
                    the wrong place

plain terminal output (Dungeons demo installer)

After a successful installation of the demo (Dungeons) one can notice that two
directories were created in the root of drive_c: during installation.
One is named "0" containing a shortcut "Play.lnk"
The other directory is named "1" containing a shortcut "Continue play.lnk"

If I'm not mistaken, they should belong to the Game Explorer stuff.
I don't have Vista or Seven only a Windows XP running in Virtualbox. After
installation those shortcuts went into
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer\{BB112F90-7C81-4352-8823-861D3957CF8A}\PlayTasks

I guess in Wine they should go into:
/users/Public/Application
Data/Microsoft/Windows/GameExplorer/{BB112F90-7C81-4352-8823-861D3957CF8A}/PlayTasks

At least other games (e.g. Woody Two-Legs) place their Game Explorer shortcuts
there.

I've tried installing the demo with WinXP, Vista and Windows 7 compatibility
modes but the directories were always created in the root directory.

Dungeons demo download link added to URL (~525 MB).
