You should be using %11% instead of hardcoding system32, but it
shouldn't make any difference either way. Why do you need to change
this?

While mucking around in programs/cmd/wcmdmain.c, I noticed
console = SHGetFileInfo();
always returned 0 for just "msiexec".

This is part of why running foo.msi from the command prompt does not
return immediately, like it does on Windows.

cmd is supposed to build a full path here, but either way it won't work
because SHGetFileInfo doesn't work for builtins. This is the real bug
that needs fixing.

The first bug is in FindExecutuable. On Windows,
FindExecutable("msiexec", ...) return the full path, but just
msiexec.exe on Wine.
