Hi,

as mentioned working in a clear prefix solves the issue. This is certainly more
related to some misbehaving windows application than to wine.

I believe that the bug can possibly be closed. Sorry for the noise.

Two more notes:

- Would be nice if wine could define quotas for its drives, rather than setting
quotas for the whole homes of the users of wine. Or anyway introduce some
system to avoid filling the user's home. Note that setting quotas for users,
can avoid the machines from coming down if the wine 'drives' start taking too
much space, but will not prevent data loss if the disk suddendly fills and the
user has some other apps working. Unfortunately, many apps when trying to save
to disk do not fail gracefully if the disk is full, but corrupt the whole
document. So the risk of data loss is important.

- After re-starting with a new prefix, I had to reinstall applications. Many
apps that used to go to "Program Files" now go to "Program files (x86)" during
install (I do not know if this is a change in the apps or in wine). However the
result is that for some apps the help system breaks. I have made a few tests
and it looks like it is the "()" in the path that creates issues.  I have
posted a separated bug for this as 32833.
