After the fix to create the directory "c:\windows\winsxs\manifests" included in
wine 0.9.44, the problems remaining in bug #9192 were related only just to the
failure to execute the file vcredist_x86.exe during the installation of Enemy
Territory Quake Wars Beta 2.
The installation popups an error window about "cannot execute
C:\windows\temp\vcredist_x86.exe". That file exists but it was extracted into
the subfolder C:\windows\temp\WZSE0.TMP" instead of "C:\windows\temp" just
during the winzip self-extract. When the setup program tries to execute the
file vcredist_x86.exe, cannot find it in the correct path.

A workaround is to create a blind symbolic link in Linux BEFORE running the
installation program of Enemy Territory Quake Wars (ETQuakeWarsBeta2Setup.exe)
and after configuring wine to emulate XP:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp ; ln -s WZSE0.TMP/vcredist_x86.exe
This way vcredist_x86.exe is executed without errors during ETQWbeta2
installation, so that manual download and execution is not required anymore.

We need to find the difference with the Windows installation were, I suppose,
this error in the paths does not occur. Maybe, I guess, the current directory
(WZSE0.TMP) during the execution of setup.exe is assumed to be included in the
execution path.
