Bug ID: 48242 Summary: IXMLDOMDocument_load() paths aren't URL-unescaped (Microsoft Document Explorer 2008 startup error) Product: Wine Version: 4.21 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msxml3 Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: damjan.jov@gmail.com Distribution: ---
After patching ieframe as per bug 12406, and installing and starting Microsoft Document Explorer 2008 as per instructions there, it quickly gives a messagebox and exits. The messagebox text is the following:
"Microsoft Document Explorer cannot be shown because the specified help collection 'ms-help:ms.WDK.v10.6001.080214' is invalid."
The problem is that msxml3's IXMLDOMDocument_load() is called with paths of the form "C:\Program%20Files..." and Wine doesn't URL-unescape them before trying to open them.
