hack: set CommonFiles64Folder to the 32-bit common files dir
The installer is more than a bit of a mess. It seems to be trying to install
64-bit files into the 64-bit "Common Files" folder, and 32-bit files into the
32-bit folder. It has this <trimmed> in its Directory table:
Directory        Directory_Parent    DefaultDir
----------------------------------------------------------
TARGETDIR                    SourceDir
RESEARCH_IN_MOTION    ProgramFilesFolder    RESEAR~1|Research In Motion
BLACKBERRY        RESEARCH_IN_MOTION    BLACKB~1|BlackBerry
INSTALLDIR        BLACKBERRY        .
CommonFiles64Folder    TARGETDIR        .:Common64
CommonFilesFolder    TARGETDIR        .:Common
CommonFilesRIM.191...    CommonFilesFolder    RESEAR~1|Research In Motion
CommonFilesRIM.07D...    CommonFiles64Folder    RESEAR~1|Research In Motion
On Wine this behaves essentially as expected, and files get installed into
64-bit "Common Files". On Windows, however, for some reason, everything gets
installed into the 32-bit "Common Files" directory. This problem is compounded
when the program subsequently tries to install PnP drivers (from a 64-bit
custom action) using files from the 32-bit "Common Files" folder—working around
their own bug, I guess—and on Wine nothing gets installed.
I'm more than a little baffled as to how this could possibly break on Windows.
It'll probably take some more involved debugging.
Anyway, the attached patch works around the bug. The installer successfully
creates a couple of root PnP devices, but the driver subsequently fails to load
due to missing WDF. (In fact it needs quite a substantial chunk of WDF, which I
have partially implemented in my local tree).
