Summary: GetSystemDirectory returns wrong directory to 16-bit apps Product: Wine Version: 0.9.33. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-kernel AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: wine.bug.fr.200703@edavies.nildram.co.uk
I'm having problems installing VB 3.0 under Wine. To try to diagnose the problem I wrote a short test program in MSVC 1.52 (16-bit C) to display the results of GetWindowsDirectory and GetSystemDirectory. I ran this under Windows XP and Wine under Linux and got different results:
Windows XP: GetWindowsDirectory = C:\WINDOWS GetSystemDirectory = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
Wine: GetWindowsDirectory = c:\windows GetSystemDirectory = c:\windows\system32
The differences are the case of the names returned (particularly the drive letter which I has a suspicion is tripping up the VB 3.0 installation) and also the response of the 32-bit directory name for GetSystemDirectory.
I noticed this problem on previous versions of Wine. Instead of accepting the default Ubuntu upgrade to 0.9.33 I uninstalled Wine (including configuration information) and did a clean install of 0.9.33 for these tests.
Once I've committed this report I'll attempt to attach a tar.gz of the source and executable of the test program.
