Hallo, some java program in the Xilinx webpack suite is started as a batch file from a perl script. When the batch should be executed, the perl script looks for the $COMSPEC variable and starts the batch like: Call kernel32.CreateProcessA(40c82e0c "c:\\command.com",40c8fee4\ "c:\\command.com /c I:\\xilinx\\bin\\nt\\ChipView.bat -f magcom.vm6"... Pointing $COMSPEC to the winelib wcmd processor doesn't work as expected, as CreateProcess tries to execute wcmd as windows executable, as CeateProcess is called like: Call kernel32.CreateProcessA(40c8248f\ "h:/tmp/wine/compile/wine/programs/wcmd/wcmd",40c8ff1c\ "h:\\tmp\\wine\\compile\\wine\\programs\\wcmd\\wcmd /c\ I:\\xilinx\\bin\\nt\\ChipView.bat -f magcom.vm6",... I there any way to use winelib-wcmd in this situation?
