That's because you have a preconceived idea of what the answer is supposed  
to be and you are not taking in what everyone is telling you.

dosdevices/c: has NOTHING to do with your true windows installation, it  
would be just the same if there was no windows installation on that  
machine.

Wine is not designed to run software installed on a windows operating  
system from Linux. You need to install your software using wine under  
linux to somewhere under .wine/drive_c (or whatever you chose to call it)

Then any reference in the software to C:/Program files/blah blah/hick will  
point to something meaningful.
