Uh-oh. Right now Wine always sets it. see

If you can compile wine, you can comment that line out,
might do what you want.
Why is it important to not have the archive attribute set?
Perhaps Wine could have a winecfg option to not set it,
or to check an extended attribute

I commented out this line and three more in dlls/ntdll/file.c to turn off the
archive flag and now everything is working. What I am doing is allowing a Linux
computer to create a MS symbol store from a collection of exe's and pdb's.
Basically you just need to put the files in correct spot and if you like you can
compress them using cabarc, then I just serve them up with apache. But if you
compress them and the archive flag is set on the file in the archive, Visual
Studio thinks the file is bad.
It would be nice if you could set the archive attribute using something like
attrib.exe in windows, or Samba uses maps the user executable flag to archive.
