Bug #: 28525 Summary: Wine doesn't start Dosbox if $PWD = ~/.wine Product: Wine Version: 1.3.29 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: dos AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: spammis@spam.la Classification: Unclassified
cd ~/.wine wine test - or - cd ~/.wine/dosdevices wine test
Output: winevdm: Cannot start DOS application C:\test.exe because the DOS memory range is unavailable. Try running this application with DOSBox.
If starting Wine from any other directory, Wine starts the program in Dosbox automatically. For some reason, it doesn't happen in these two directories. The program test.exe was placed in Wine's %PATH%, but I don't see why this would affect anything.
