dotnet35sp1: Workaround for error if the username is "guest" #2203

Dotnet35sp1 will not install if your username is a guest. Same issue with dotnet35, 30sp1, 30, 20sp1, 20sp2.

This seems too hacky to me.. Wine doesn't support multiple users (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112), and mixing up users with in single WINEPREFIX opens up a large can of worms.

I also don't think it's a very common case to have a username of 'guest', but if so, I think the appropriate fix is to not name your user that if you need .NET. If that's a hard requirement, then you should carry this patch locally.
