Found it! It turns out that SHGetPathFromIDListW will eventually return the result of a wine_get_dos_file_name call, which will return the Common Files installer directory as: c:\Program Files... Note the *lower case* c:. If you hack wine_get_dos_file_name to return an upper case C instead of a lower case c, then the installer gets past the current failure. Of course, then it comes to the next failure, which I have yet to triage :-(. We still don't even get the EULA page, but we do trigger Gecko, so we're trying... I have a feeling that this is going to be hard to get an official patch into Wine for, as I bet this goes back and forth. I'll see if I can get Alexandre to approve a 'correct' path forward...
Perhaps this should be fixed in wineprefixcreate/wine.inf first to create upper cased drive letters in dosdevices, then all places in Wine which rely on it.
