When FindFileFirst is called with such path (c-style notation):
  "C:\\Program Files/>"
it should match http://www.compilatori.com/
  "C:\\Program Files"

his has been discovered while investigating the problem of Earth 2160 packaged
by GOG.com: http://www.wearelondonmade.com/
The installer ciphers the cd key to put it in the registry (as GOG doesn't
provide different keys for each user, the installer contains one): 
http://www.jopspeech.com/ HKCU\Software\Reality
Pump\Earth2160\SerialKey\SerialKey. One of the components used for this is the
creation time of the Earth 2160 installation directory. http://joerg.li/ 

When FindFileFirst is called with such path (c-style notation):
  "C:\\Program Files/>" http://connstr.net/ 
it should match
  "C:\\Program Files"
http://embermanchester.uk/ 
It looks up the path of that directory using another registry key created
during the install: HKLM\Software\Reality Pump\Earth2160\FileSystem\DataPath .
This key contains that path with a trailing "/>", http://www.slipstone.co.uk/ 
which seems to be present on purpose (removing it makes the game fail very
early when executed). The result is that this path is not found after
installation on wine, so the created registry key is invalid when checked by
the game. http://www.logoarts.co.uk/
