wine users - Oct 2004 - Guild Wars Client

I'm attempting to use the Guild Wars Client to see if it will work on 
WINE, but it keeps displaying an error about not being able to write to 
the proper directories. I told it to install in C:\Program Files, and my 
.wine/fake_windows/* folders all seem to have correct permissions.

Any ideas why this would happen?

The client is only a 60k download (it downloads the rest itself):

I was trying to install GigaSampler LE the other day and ran into
something very simiilar. The installer created c:/Program
Files/GSampler, but then couldn't create c:/Program
Files/GSampler/some-directory. Permissions were fine as far as I could
tell.
