indeed seems to be related to Wine's directory system, i have two partitions and one of them is set to be D:/, that partition is the one actually causing me problems, if i run an installer inside C:/ runs quite well, but if i do it from D:/ the problem present itself. Now, clean install and clean .wine prefix do nothing to solve the problem, if i look into wine configuration, two directories are present by default, "C:/ ../drive_c" and "Z: /", using an executable for browsing an installation directory expose the problem [Image: http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6821/prbl.png ] this _BrowseProperty is set as a directory and trying to choice anything else causes a crash in the wine program, this in a very clean wine prefix

Windows programs expect drive letters, and Wine translates Linux paths into Windows-style paths for them. The C:\ drive you see in winecfg is actually just a hidden directory in your home directory: $HOME/.wine/drive_c is the default. The Z:\ drive is everything else--the root directory, which will include all mounted volumes, including removable ones. I don't know what partitions your "C" and "D" drives are, but I am pretty sure they don't correspond to the drives mapped in winecfg (though Wine's fake drive_c is probably contained on the volume you think of as your C:/ drive.)>From what you have said here and in the other thread, the partition you think of as D:/ has been mounted noexec, which means that binaries are not allowed to execute from it. You need to remount it as exec. If you don't know how to do that, ask your distro.
in did i bothered them with this same problem :P , but i sorted it now adding this line in the fstab file atime,suid,mand,users,auto,rw,dev,exec,async,noacl,orlov,nouser_xattr,nocheck,errors=remount-ro,nogrpid,commit=5 thanks for the help
