--- Comment #12 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- Created attachment 79010 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=79010 No c: drive shown
shouldn't be reported as read-only because certain parts of the tree will be writable
Good point!
How did you test this?
I made the whole disk read only as it was empty. diskpart select disk 1 att disk set readonly
Because the installer installs to \lotus I couldn't think how else to do it. There's no . for me to set the properties on. I'm sure there's a way but I simply don't know how.
However, I could choose the Custom setup rather than Complete, and manually enter c:\lotus. This is by far the easier workaround and something I should have worked out long before now. I can't select c: like I can in Windows (screenshot¹).
So I tried again and left the other disk writeable, but created a directory set to readonly for the application to install into. Of course it's Windows and readonly means very little so it installed into that directory without issue.
I then tried to add explicit Deny to that directory instead. However, Windows 10 cried and spat it's dummy out, then the whole disk became inaccessible. Then I gave up.
¹ In Windows when I attempt to go up a level from a drive, it doesn't do anything. In Wine it keeps adding z: to the drop-down list, but nothing else. Note there is no c: drive.
