Hello folks,

well, it could be called 'works as designed' (see Wine FAQ for multi-CD
installs).

The problem you are seeing is either the result of:

1) you start the installer as first process which directly triggers the
creation of a new WINEPREFIX

or

2) the installer triggers an update of an existing WINEPREFIX (due to Wine
upgrade) with dosdevices drive symlink not existing yet:

In both cases the drive dosdevices symlink doesn't exist yet hence the
bootstrapper installer process working directory will always be 'Z:\' based
(and have 'fixed drive' property).

Msi installer last file of disk 1:

--- snip ---
{entry={next=0x1abba8, prev=0x1ab9e0}, File="Arcanum.dat", Component=0x1a4828,
FileName="Arcanum.dat", ShortName="Arcanum.dat", LongName=0x0(nil),
FileSize=0x16ac213d, Version=0x0(nil), Language=0x0(nil), Attributes=0,
Sequence=0x3e, state=msifs_missing,
TargetPath="C:\Sierra\Arcanum\modules\Arcanum.dat", IsCompressed=0,
hash={dwFileHashInfoSize=0, dwData={0, 0, 0, 0}}, disk_id=0x4}
--- snip ---

Msi installer first file of disk 2:

--- snip ---
{entry={next=0x1abc80, prev=0x1abae8}, File="arcanum2.dat12",
Component=0x1a3968, FileName="arcanum2.dat", ShortName="arcanum2.dat",
LongName=0x0(nil), FileSize=0x8f76af5, Version=0x0(nil), Language=0x0(nil),
Attributes=0, Sequence=0x3f, state=msifs_missing,
TargetPath="C:\Sierra\Arcanum\arcanum2.dat", IsCompressed=0,
hash={dwFileHashInfoSize=0, dwData={0, 0, 0, 0}}, disk_id=0x5}
--- snip ---

ready_media -> source_matches_volume

mi->type will be always DRIVE_FIXED because of "Z:\" based source dir (passed
through msi WISE_SETUP_EXE_PATH)

-> msi_change_media() for disk 2 won't be called, resulting in:

--- snip ---
0038:err:msi:ACTION_InstallFiles Failed to copy
L"Z:\home\focht\media\DISK1\Sierra\Arcanum\arcanum2.dat" to
L"C:\Sierra\Arcanum\arcanum2.dat" (2)
0038:err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallFiles" returned
1603
0038:err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"ExecuteAction" returned
1603
--- snip ---

Either you pre-create the WINEPREFIX without using the installer as first
process (drive letter is properly assigned)

- or -

use the following command which ensures the symlink exists before the actual
installer process creation (working directory = media drive letter based).

--- snip ---
$ wine start /unix ./setup.exe
--- snip ---

At this point the installer will be asking for disk 2 (example: msi sourcedir =
"E:\" based, drive type = cdrom/removable etc.)

Regards
