The update tool is using something like this: MoveFileW(steam.exe, e:\steam.exe)
If I read it right, MSDN says that you cannot move a *directory* between volumes, not a single file (like in this case). So, the check should be done only when the source path points to a directory.

So it tries to move a file from c:\steam\steam.exe to e:\steam.exe which according to the MSDN docs is not possible. The same works fine on Win2k. After hacking MoveFileW to not check if the volumes are different it worked fine on Wine too.
What shall we do? Shall we implement the same bugs Windows is doing or shall e listen to the docs at MSDN? (I'm sure some tests need to be made)
