http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25887 Summary: winevdm tries to run dos apps via dosbox on Z: which is reserved in dosbox Product: Wine Version: 1.3.12 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: dos AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: pquiring(a)gmail.com If you try to run a dos app that is not under .wine/drive_c (C:) winevdm will try to use Z: which is reserved in dosbox and fails. Need to mount / with another drive letter and then run the dos app in that folder. Winevdm doesn't even create a mount statement for z: sample bad config generated: [autoexec] mount c /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c: mount y /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/y: Z: cd \home\user\DATA\games\game Z:\home\user\DATA\games\game\game.exe exit -- 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.

The right fix is to make the z drive configurable in dosbox. -- 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.

Not a big deal, I hardly ever run dos apps. Just move them into drive_c. -- 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.

So maybe a more controllable way would be to go the winegecko way. I'm already getting familiar with dosbox code, that will help anyway. -- 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.

if the WINE folk need support for some similar functionality, we can treat that separately and implement it cleanly.
