Summary: Error message "Module not found" should be more obvious Product: Wine Version: 1.1.21 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: integration Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: scott@open-vote.org
On multiple occasions, I have seen users open a terminal and attempt to run their application by typing something like "wine itunes.exe"
Wine then looks in the current folder (where it isn't), then looks in its system32 folder (where it also isn't), and then outputs this message:
wine: could not load L"C:\windows\system32\itunes.exe": Module not found
I suggest changing this error message to something clearer based on what the typical error here, something like:
wine: could not load "itunes.exe": the specified program was not found in the current directory
This message is more specific to the problem, and more importantly it tells the user (even a clueless new terminal user) that they need to change the current directory. So rather than saying "Wine's broken" and making a bad post on a forum/bug tracker, they'll instead look up how to change a directory in the terminal.
