Wine and PATH

[Raghavan Gurumurthy]

BlankI have set this in the Wine config file (~/.wine/config): 

[wine]
"Path"="c:\\windows;c:\\windows\system;c:\myapp"

I have placed the executable (and its dependent DLLs) in c:\myapp directory. Now, if i run this command: 

# wine myapp.exe <<<--- I get error: "wine: cannot find myapp.exe".

But, if i do:

# wine c:\\myapp\\myapp.exe <<--- Everything is fine.

Is Wine looking in the PATH variable i set in the config file or not? I did a wineboot as well as a reboot of the machine and still no luck. What am i missing? Note that if i copy myapp.exe to c:\\windows directory, Wine does let me run it without specifying the full path - but, i don't want to do that for obvious reasons. Is this supported or not?

Thanks,

Not enough slashes?

"Path"="c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;c:\\myapp"
