wine users - Aug 2009 - vcredist_x86.exe - "Unable to find a volume for . . ."

I am running wine 1.1.27 on Ubuntu 9.04 amd64.  I install wine, making no
changes to it.  Run "wine vcredist_x86.exe".  I eventually come up
with the "Unable to find a volume for file extraction.  Please verify that
you have proper permissions."


Code:

wine vcredist_x86.exe

The error occurs in a pop up window at the end.  Using the winetricks script
where it creates "~/.wine/harddiskvolume0/" to link to
"~/.wine/drive_c/" does not change anything (looks like it
shouldn't matter anyway).

It actually does matter. Where is your c: ?

Have you tried removing ~/.wine directory (or using totally separate
WINEPREFIX)?

This should've been fixed a long time ago. Retry in a clean ~/.wine

Yeah that's what I thought.

I didn't feel like spending a whole lot of time on the issue, so I decided
to use /extract instead.  Works perfectly fine.

Code:

wine vcredist_x86.exe




Oh, I read somewhere improper graphic drivers might effect this.  Maybe
that's my problem.  I've been having a lot of trouble with drivers on
Linux.

Durrr, that should be this:

Code:

wine vcredist_x86.exe /extract
