Summary: user localisation error: wrong program menu entries created in KDE menu upon installation Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc7 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: juergenw_@web.de
My system: Debian Lenny(stable) - KDE 3.5.10 user locale: de_de@euro (aka. ISO-8859-15) - root locale: de_de.UTF8
Wine seems to be oblivious of german special characters(umlauts), when creating KDE menu entries upon program installation. Example for DVD Shrink installation (same with others):
env WINEPREFIX="/home/the_user/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix /home/the_user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Startmen/Programme/DVD\ Shrink/DVD\ Shrink\ 3.2.lnk
Look at the part: c:/users/Public/Startmen/Programme/
The correct entry should have been: c:/users/Public/Startmenü/Programme/
Wine is neglecting the "ü" character, thus no menu entry works.
The folder at the given path was correctly created by wine with the name: Startmenü
Manually editing the above entry line does not work.
P.S.: I need to use the said user locale as some of my programs (esp. my homebanking app) do not support UTF8 encoding.
