It races with all filesystem operations, basically. For example, a file or
directory with the same name could be created between the call to rmdir and
symlink. So you would need to move all of them to the server.

And you'd still give up consistency with the filesystem's view outside of Wine.

If the goal is to get .NET 2.0 to install without changing the Windows version
our time is probably better spent on fixing builtin fusion.

It can already install .NET 4.0 and I'm aware of only one bug that blocks
running a simple .NET 2.0 app after installing the runtime with builtin fusion.

The bug is that the mscorlib assembly has a set of extra files (with extension
.nlp) that should be installed alongside mscorlib.dll. They are present in
the source directory but I haven't yet figured out how fusion determines
that it needs to copy them.
