Ok. First from inside Wine just after an attempted install to the destination home directory of "c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\":


Code:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0>dir
Volume in drive C is 
Volume Serial Number is 0000-0000

Directory of C:\oracle\product\10.2.0

  3/8/2009  10:56 AM  <DIR>         .
  3/8/2009  10:56 AM  <DIR>         ..
  3/8/2009  10:56 AM  <DIR>         client_1
       0 files                        0 bytes
       3 directories      6,748,340,224 bytes free

C:\oracle\product\10.2.0>cd client_1
Access denied

C:\oracle\product\10.2.0>copy c:\test.txt c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\test.txt
Access denied

C:\oracle\product\10.2.0>



And then from the Ubuntu command prompt:

Code:

nathan at bignathan:~/.wine/drive_c/oracle/product/10.2.0$ ls -l
total 4
d----wS--- 3 nathan nathan 4096 2009-03-08 10:56 client_1
nathan at bignathan:~/.wine/drive_c/oracle/product/10.2.0$ cp ~/.wine/drive_c/test.txt ~/.wine/drive_c/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1/test.txt
cp: accessing `/home/nathan/.wine/drive_c/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1/test.txt': Permission denied
nathan at bignathan:~/.wine/drive_c/oracle/product/10.2.0$




And additionally, from the end of the log the Oracle installer creates:


Code:

...
INFO: *** Install Page***
INFO: FastCopy : File Version is Compatible
INFO: Install mode is fastcopy mode for component 'oracle.client' with Install type 'Administrator'.
INFO: HomeSetup JRE files in Scratch :584
INFO: OUI-10125:Unable to write into the Oracle Home you have specified.




I can manually reset the permissions after the fact with chmod, but that doesn't help because the installer just removes the permissions again the next time I run it. 

And I did try installing it to a FAT partition from Wine, but that didn't help as the installer still thought it was NTFS and tried to set the permissions anyway.
