Bug ID: 42616
           Summary: InnoSetup based installer does not resolve
                    %SystemDrive%
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

InnoSetup based installer does not resolve %SystemDrive% when selecting install
directory. Instead, it will attempt to install in '%SystemDrive%' under current
dir, e.g.:

Z:\home.....\wine\head%SystemDrive%\Program Files\WinOmega

You can check this behaviour with downloadable WinOmega package from

Strangely, the problem happened with current git head (commit
1ddf2b4db8c42da36bdccd43dc336eee6ba03cce) and with a clean, freshly created
WINEPREFIX directory. I initially thought it was a regression, however I can no
longer reproduce it.

Reproduced it again, this time with 1.8.0.

I think I found the factors that cause it. Steps to reproduce:

1. Remove ~/.wine and ~/.cache/wine.

2. Start wine directly to run the installer (womega.exe), before creating a
prefix.

3. Since you removed Mono and Gecko installer from cache, a dialog asking to
download Mono pops up, say yes (I think the same would happen with Gecko, but
haven't tried).

4. When Mono download is aproximately at 60%, the installer starts, and at this
point the wine prefix is not fully configured yet. The following errors are
printed:

wineserver: could not save registry branch to system.reg : No such file or
directory
wineserver: could not save registry branch to userdef.reg : No such file or
directory
wineserver: could not save registry branch to user.reg : No such file or
directory

and as a consequence %SystemDrive% cannot be resolved.

The problem might not be specific to InnoSetup after all. I expect any program
attempting to resolve %SystemDrive would end the same.
