trace from running the BioEdit installer with wine 1.3.28

Hi,

Using the version of wine1.3 in Ubuntu 11.10, which is 1.3.28, I was having
trouble installing BioEdit. The installer would run fine, but ultimately the
installation directories would not be created, and the installation files were
all dumped into the current working directory. The errors from BioEdit are
attached.

BioEdit is freely available here,
http://www.mbio.ncsu.edu/bioedit/bioedit.html

The WineHQ says BioEdit 7.0.9 is Gold status. I tried both 7.0.9 and the latest
7.1.3 and had the same problem. I used both the main Ubuntu version 1.3.28 and
the latest ppa version 1.3.33, and had the same problem. The only tweaks are
installation of corefonts, tahoma, opensymbol, and mdac28 (the latter is
required for BioEdit to run).

I finally reverted back to a previous version, 1.3.15, and everything worked
fine, so I think this bug is a regression.
