Dunno. What ae you trying to install?<br>
<br>
Are you trying to install Windows itself, (I suppose not, if WINE is involved)<br>
or applications designed to run under Windows?<br>
<br>
Is the pop-up window coming from one of those installers, or from Wine?<br>
<br>
I can't think of any installer that I've run from/under Windows that uses a<br>
drop-down menu to ask where something should be placed. They<br>
normally just ask for the path to a directory.<br>
<br>
Installers for Windows applications are sometimes not needed (under<br>
Windows, I mean). Some authors provide "portable" versions which <br>
are merely zipped up collections of files that one can place where <br>
one wants, if one knows how to, set up one's own shortcuts if one <br>
needs them etc.<br>
<br>
There's also "Portable Apps" which are something different, but as<br>
(under Windows) those install as standalone programs (which could<br>
be put on a USB stick ... but in my case I put them on an SSD but <br>
outwith the normal Windows directories) and it's possible those <br>
would work better under Wine as they're already designed not to <br>
be in standard Windows locations.<br>
<br>
It's worth hunting for the simpler option, if it exists.<br>
