... Thanks! I think the only thing that's not covered now is symlinks (Vista+ feature), but I figured that I should start with junction points first.
After testing with the .NET 2.0 installer, I realized something that I'd appreciate some feedback about: the way I've done this so far creates an absolute path link. For example: /home/ehoover/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/assembly/GAC_32/System.EnterpriseServices/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a links to: /home/ehoover/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/winsxs/x86_System.EnterpriseServices_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_2.0.0.0_x-ww_7d5f3790
It seems to me that this technique has the disadvantage that if users relocate their Wine directory that these links would break. So, do you guys think I should replace "/home/ehoover/.wine/dosdevices/" with the appropriate number of up directory references (../../../../../ in this case).
