Hi,
It seems that NSIS installers have regressed in Wine 0.9 - at least, the PE Explorer setup which looks and feels like an NSIS based installer won't install with a "The folder name is invalid" error message. I poked at this a bit but got nowhere.
Can anybody confirm/deny it's a problem with all NSIS installrers? If the problem is just with PE Explorer then we can leave it, otherwise I think we should try and figure it out before 0.9 - NSIS is a very popular installer these days and not running it for 0.9 would be a disaster.
thanks -mike

Looks like a known problem introduced by uxtheme changes [Bug:3241].

I have a nasty suspicion that these applications are simply not themable. Theming is opt-in on Windows precisely because it's not fully backwards compatible, but we are applying uxtheme to *every* app whether it requests it or not.
Frank, could the un-expected unicodeness be caused by lack of manifest support? If so is there some way to revert the unicode changes temporarily until it's fixed? I don't think we can ship 0.9 with the common controls so obviously broken.

I think this is caused by theming. Frank Richter sent a patch for this but it hasn't been accepted.

The installer of PE Explorer has been created with InnoSetup (not NSIS). This is bug 3241, as Vitaliy pointed out.
