Comparison of Windows and Wine installation

Hi Wine team,

we at Notation Software use VS2010 installer.

When the user modifies the standard Program Folder (target folder C:\Program
Files (x86)) a new folder called "TempFolder" is created in the Program Folder
and all temporary installation files go into that new folder. But the current
temp folder setting for the installing user is still valid.

As a result the installation fails because the temp files are not installed in
the users's temp folder but in that newly created folder which is called
"TempFolder". Definitely this new folder "TempFolder" isn't the real temp
folder.

Please see in the attached zip the files and according explanation:

(1) VS2010 Installer configuration
file "VS2010_configuration_of_installation_folders.png"
Comparison of the installation on Windows with the installation on Wine

(2) How the files end up on OpenSuse
file "Folder_Setup_after_Installation_on_Wine.png"

As a workaround we give our customers the advice not to change the Program
Folder. Then all works fine.

If siomeone wants to try that scenario our trial version can be downloaded from
http://www.notation.com/DownloadComposerTrial.php
Please modify the standard installation folder according to the screen shots
(1), (2)

We see this wrong behaviour in all Linux versions of Wine 1.7.44 and Mac from
Winebottler (Wine 1.7.37)

Best regards,

Reinhold
