http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11797 --- Comment #5 from Dan Kegel <dank(a)kegel.com> 2008-03-08 08:25:35 --- I see Unix paths when I use 'strings' on the .lnk file, so I believed the original report. But now when I try reproducing the real problem, e.g. install iTunes mv .wine .wine-foo WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-foo wine-git/programs/start/start Desktop/iTunes.lnk it works just fine. So perhaps the original poster failed to set WINEPREFIX. The only remaining truth to this bug report is that strings shows fragments of Unix paths in .lnk files.

winedump is able to decipher/print the contents of .lnk files, so it may be used to try figure out why you see them. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I havn't forget to set WINEPREFIX. After installation a haved moved the winedir to a new name. Starting the application gives me the error! Then i have patched the winedir name in the lnk file (only one char twice) with emacs and rerun the app. Now it work again. Could be that it is application depending. I don't know why the lnk file was used in my case. I'm calling the simulator exe direct, but something in the application needs (or calls) the lnk file. The fragments (are not really fragments) are important for this program - maybe others (the most?) without looking at lnk files. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
