Hello,
- why does the installation not work? Do you get any error message?
- When it did work in the past, was it with this exact version 9.9.9i.64?

--- Comment #3 from Scott  ---
When I try to install Harmony Assistant 9.9.9i I receive error
messages."Impossible to write. Quit the application or delete the target folder
before retrying.
I deleted the target folder but it didn't make a difference. 
I was using a previous version of Harmony Assistant with WINE without any
problems. 
I made new target folder, but it didn't make any difference. 
I tried to install a previous version of HA and received the same error
messages.

Thanks for providing more details.

So it were previous Harmony Assistant version that worked and the installer
for the recent version makes something different.
The last version at archive.org, 998d-x64, installs without issue:

I could reproduce the error message here.
As far as I see it is caused by this CreateFileW:

----
0024:trace:file:CreateFileW L"C:\Program Files\Harmony
Assistant\Models\Modeles.cfg" GENERIC_WRITE FILE_SHARE_READ FILE_SHARE_WRITE 
creation 2 attributes 0x80
0024:warn:file:CreateFileW Unable to create file L"C:\Program Files\Harmony
Assistant\Models\Modeles.cfg" (status c000003a)
0024:trace:file:CreateFileW returning FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
----

This CreateFileW returns an error because the directory is (no longer)
existing, because the installer removed it some moments before:

----
0024:trace:file:RemoveDirectoryW L"C:\Program Files\Harmony
Assistant\Models"
----

If the removal of this directory can be avoided by placing something
inside the directory not that easily deleteable like this before
starting the installer, it installs successfully:

----
mkdir -p "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Harmony Assistant/Models/lock/lock"
chmod 000 "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Harmony Assistant/Models/lock"
wine harmony998d-x64-install.exe
chmod 777 "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Harmony Assistant/Models/lock"
----

Another workaround, if building from source, is to early return
from RemoveDirectoryW without actually removing the directory.

So either the installer behaves with Wine differently and does not
remove this directory at Windows, or at Windows the directory is "locked"
by some open file or such, making the directory not getting removed.
Unfortunately I cannot tell which one is the case.

Thanks for looking at this issue.
I am sending a copy of Comment 4 to someone at Myriad Software. Maybe they can
tell what has changed in their installer.
