This fails on WinXP.
P.S. No c++ features accepted here.
Hmm. I suspect this case (root = "\:") is undocumented and/or old, but I can't prove it. The application came out in the mid-to-late 90's so it's probably intended for Win 95 or 98, although I know it also works on Win2K.
Maybe it's so but I don't know how could you push a proposed patch for that in future since no version checking accepted in wine modules as far as I know.
What if I made the test run only on Win 95/98/2K? (I assume there is a way to code for that - will check wine docs). I'll also fix the C++ comments (actually fixed in my post of 6 Jan to wine-patches, but I neglected to also update in the bug database).
You could add it of course possibly marking it broken for WinXP (if I tested properly of course and it really fails on it). In any case post a patch for tests for documentation purpose at least.
