Installing Palm Desktop

[Andrew Neil Ramage]

I'm trying to install the Windows Installer using Winetools. 
Unfortunately, it stops about 60% through the "Preparing Installation" 
phase with the message "The installer has insufficient privileges to 
modify this file: C:\Config Msi\444860.rbf"  Anyone know what is going 
wrong ?

System:
	Mandriva Limited Edition 2005
	Wine 20050524
	Winetools 2.1.2

The output from winetools is

[andrew at zeus Windows]$ winetools
