Neighboring Files: Apps Using Wine

[Mikenux]

There are EXE and MSI files. Some of them are a single file that installs an app. Others are installers or standalone apps that require access to all other neighboring files and folders to run.

The questions are:

• Do MSI files indeed sometimes need access to their neighbors?
• Are there any clues we can use to differentiate a self-sufficient installer from applications that require access to their neighbors? Example clue: presence of other file types in the same folder.

Thanks!
