http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33207
Bug #: 33207 Summary: Visual Studio 2008 (9.0) Express Edition cannot launch in a fresh prefix Product: Wine Version: 1.5.25 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shell32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ehoover@mines.edu Classification: Unclassified
On launch the application reports "The application data folder for <program> could not be created." (e.g. "Visual C++ Express"). By manually creating the expected folder the problem can be worked around: mkdir ${HOME}/.wine/drive_c/users/${USER}/Application\ Data

--- Comment #1 from Erich Hoover ehoover@mines.edu 2013-03-14 13:42:40 CDT --- Important Note: This folder is _supposed_ to be created when the new prefix is created and it usually is, but for some reason this step does not always occur.

It seems that that is the bug then..

--- Comment #3 from Daniel Jelinski djelinski1@gmail.com 2013-06-03 15:39:57 CDT --- Still present in 1.5.31. Actually it seems that the folder is deleted at some point during winetricks dotnet35sp1.

--- Comment #4 from Daniel Jelinski djelinski1@gmail.com 2013-06-22 08:49:18 CDT --- The Application Data folders (both local and roaming) are deleted during the execution of winetricks dotnet20sp2. They are deleted during action RemoveFiles, when the installer removes all empty temporary folders. Adding a placeholder file or folder inside Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data is sufficient to prevent these folders from being deleted.
This is definitely not a shell32 bug. It could be a msi bug, but I think that adding a placeholder is probably the correct fix here.

It could also be failure to recreate the application data folders. How does the app try to create its folder?
