Bug #: 28995 Summary: Unable to use named pipes with ">" character in the name Product: Wine Version: 1.3.32 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: kernel32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: valentyn.pavliuchenko@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
I have an app (Avid VENUE software) that uses pipes to work. The app fails to launch because of pipe name contains a character ">".
MSDN says:
The pipename part of the name can include any character other than a backslash, including numbers and special characters. The entire pipe name string can be up to 256 characters long. Pipe names are not case sensitive.
App logs show the following:
23.957 CreateFile error '\.\PIPE\D-Show Pipe GUI->DM': Invalid name.
Changing ">" to "_" by direct editing executable files makes problem disappear.
