[Bug 1250] New: - Application doesn't like "Access Denied" from CreateDirectory

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1250

Summary: Application doesn't like "Access Denied" from
                    CreateDirectory
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-files
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

My config file has this (just like the sample config file):

[Drive E]
"Path" = "/tmp"

[wine]
"Temp" = "e:\"

But I have an app (Garmin's Mapsource) that tries to do this:

0807e1a8:Call kernel32.GetTempPathA(00000005,41338e00) ret=00737c67
0807e1a8:Ret  kernel32.GetTempPathA() retval=00000003 ret=00737c67
0807e1a8:Call kernel32.CreateDirectoryA(41338e00 "E:\",00000000) ret=00737d2e
0807e1a8:Ret  kernel32.CreateDirectoryA() retval=00000000 ret=00737d2e
0807e1a8:Call kernel32.GetLastError() ret=00737d3e
0807e1a8:Ret  kernel32.GetLastError() retval=00000005 ret=00737d3e

It then freaks out about the "Access Denied" error it got and dies.  I can work
around this by doing either:

a) Changing Wine so that "Already Exists" is returned instead.  The app ignores
this error, apparently.
b) Changing my temp path in the config file to c:\windows\temp (something not at
the root of a "drive")

I suspect this is a bug in the app, not wine.  But still, maybe the default temp
path shouldn't be a root directory.  There may be other apps that don't like it
either.
