Hello,

someone in appdb reported QuarkXPress version 8.x (2010 version) hangs on
start.
Downloaded a 60-day trial ... it does indeed - due to a Wine shortcoming and an
application bug. ;-)

Basically the app retrieves default browser setting from registry and does some
parsing to extract browser (unquoting and splitting '' '/' path delimiter).
Their parsing is broken in a way that it can't cope with missing double quotes
around browser path leading to endless looping.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command ->
C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe -nohome

With the browser path in double quotes, QuarkXPress 8 starts fine.

"C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe" -nohome

The quoting is most likely present in Windows as the app would loop there too
without.

Regards
