--- Comment #1 from Lantizia s.maddox@lantizia.me.uk --- Perhaps I'm missing something. But are you hoping if Wine encounters a exe/com/pif/bat/etc.. file - that it'll ask the system each and every time what should be running it (even if it is within the bottle) so that if mime-info reports it's a pif or 16-bit com/exe DOS executable - the system will then start up DOSBox itself (or whatever is associated with it)?
Even if the above made sense, how would DOSBox know what to map drive letters to so it can access the bottle or related drives (like CD's) properly?
You've linked my bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46125
But I don't see this solves the issue there... as a setup.exe from a CD is calling another exe that calls a pif that calls a batch file - so DOSBox at a minimum needs to know where drive C: is and where drive D: is for this to actually work.
