Summary: files don't find eachother or the cd-drive Product: Wine Version: 0.9.9. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P1 Component: wine-files AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mabusa@online.no
when i emulate a windows application in WINE i constantly encounter the following two problems:
1. I start programs using wine and they can't find any files that aren't in the same folder (can't find those in subfolders either) and crashes because it can't find what it needs to start. This happens to most programs This completely breaks most of the games/programs i try to wine. I am not sure if this is because the programs can't physically find them or if wine doesn't emulate filepaths properly so the programs are confused.
2. Wine is unable to make the program think the location of your cd-drive is (let's say) e:\ so that it will find the cd you've got in it. Or it doesn't name the cd's properly so the program flags the cd as the incorrect one before even looking at it. this is INSANELY annoying when trying to run games that have the very annoying spyware named "copy-protection".
