When you are about to install a game on Steam in vanilla Wine, Steam doesn't
offer the drop-down menu to choose an install location. Games are always
installed in the current prefix under C:\Program Files\Steam.

When using the patch from wine-staging the drop-down menu is available and I
can select a different partition/directory to install games (if the partition
has been set in winecfg's drives tab).
