--- Comment #2 from Thomas J. Moore darktjm@gmail.com --- I don't know. I use my own scripts around wine to make it work better, and I'm not going to upload the scripts. Without the scripts, it's harder to reproduce in exactly the same way. In fact, I can't even get anything to start at all. Something about how I do my stuff makes it actually start, and then fail as described.
mkdir /tmp/windows cd /tmp/windows WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/tmp/windows wine regedit /? cd dosdevices/c: ln -s ~/.cache/winetricks/xvid/Xvid-1.3.2-20110601.exe . WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/tmp/windows wine Xvid-1.3.2-20110601.exe
Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/tmp/windows/drive_c', starting in the Windows directory. wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\Xvid-1.3.2-20110601.exe"
If I use /tmp/win instead, it works fine.
Also, I'm not going to put any more effort into this. If you want to fix it upstream, fine. If not, I'll just fix it for myself. if you actually read the code I refer to, the bug is obvious.
