------- Additional Comments From ben@atomnet.co.uk 2007-06-02 18:12 ------- It's only certain installers. I just tested Battlefield 2 on a clean .wine from latest GIT and and it still did it.
Basically when the browser comes up to select a folder, don't click any folders, selecting an existing folder works, it's if you type something out in the entry bar then ok it then it just ignores you.
I.e. the window comes up with the default address in. Type something in yourself like C:\Games\Blah Ok it It will just ignore what you did and still just show the default path still as the install folder.
Basically you can only select a pre-existing folder or use the default folder else it ignores you (in Windows it would say that this folder doesn't exist and ask if you want to create it).
