Hello,

as I already said in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10002#c8 , there is
no standard location for ICC profiles,

This Microsoft link mentions:
http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowsxp/digitalphotography/gopro/organize/settingupxp.aspx

--- quote ---
Note:  The default location for display profiles in Windows XP is:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\COLOR
--- quote ---

Another link: http://harman.hahnemuehle.com/site/de/839/icc-profile.html

--- quote ---
Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7 - "C:/windows/system32/spool/drivers/color"
Windows 95, 98 - "C:/windows/system/color"
Windows NT - "C:/winNT/system32/color"
--- quote ---

Applications are of course not obliged to follow.
They could store their profiles anywhere, using private paths.

Most Adobe products store the *.icm and *.icc files in three places:

--- snip ---
C:\\Program Files\Common Files\\Adobe\\Color\\Profiles
--- snip ---

--- snip ---
C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\Adobe\\Color\\Profiles\\Recommended
--- snip ---

--- snip ---
C:\\windows\\system32\\spool\\drivers\\color
--- snip ---

The problem was not critical/user visible as it tried to search more ICC
profiles paths.

Marking "wontfix" because Wine doesn't implement version-dependent behaviour
for many APIs (different profile paths depending on WinVer setting).

Maybe at the time the default WinVer setting was not "Windows XP" yet.

Regards
