i precreated folders but i have the same exact result. i tried picking another path and the same result. it creates first folder but stops afterwards.

the default location is C:/Perfect World Entertainment/Perfect World International

i am able to install other games from mmohut however.

Interesting. I knew of a problem with some versions of UNIX/Linux that
could not 'handle' spaces in directory names without going through a
complete escape sequence or enclosing in single/double quotes:

.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/IBM/Lotus\ Forms/Viewer/3.5/

or

".wine/drive_c/Program Files/IBM/Lotus Forms/Viewer/e3.5/"

is how I get to the directory to the PureEdge Viewer that I'm working
with for a work project.

Both times you posted terminal output, you were starting the installer from outside the directory it was located in. That's not the correct way to run an installer.
