--- Comment #12 from Yanis Lukes Pendrokar@gmail.com --- It seems the "shlwapi" component might be somehow relevant, since it doesn't show up at all in the WINEPREFIX where IE8 was installed. I used the same debug info for both, so debug information on shlwapi's should have showed up: WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid
shlwapi's 'PathIsDirectoryEmptyW(...)' function is called right after creating the project folder.
