--- Comment #1 from 3vi1 winehq.org@eternaldusk.com 2011-06-24 19:11:59 CDT --- I also noticed this earlier today when I was looking at bug 22929.
My solution was to modify shlexec.c::SHELL_execute to rip off the prefix from the path, if it was present, and then just fall through to the normal code.
I'd submit the patch, but it was written quite hastily after a couple of glasses and I do not wish to lower my Julliard-rank. :) I ran into subsequent tougher problems with the app I was trying to fix, and don't intend to submit any patches until I can get it all working. I currently would not bet any money on that happening.
If anyone wants to submit a proper patch for this one item, please note that some Windows apps (like NClauncher) appear to send 'file:\' as the prefix instead of 'file:///'.
