Bug ID: 52786
           Summary: "wine cmd.exe /c [any command which outputs text]"
                    returns zero length text
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.5
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: cmd
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Works correctly only when executed from a terminal (xterm etc)
Fails when wine is invoked (directly or by another program such as winetricks)
from desktop menu or launcher or a .desktop file.

MY ENVIRONMENT
--------------
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
KDE/Plasma
Wine 7.5

TO REPRODUCE
------------

1) From the desktop launcher run

wine cmd.exe /c echo 'hello' > ~/test.txt

Each time it is run, the test.txt timestamp is updated but the file remains
empty

2) From the desktop launcher run

winetricks --gui

Displays info then error message 'wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned
empty string, error message "" '

3) Issue test 1 above in xterm or similar then test.txt contains "hello"
4) Issue test 2 above in xterm or similar then winetricks starts and runs
normally

WORKAROUND
----------

Include terminal=true in affected .desktop files and menu configs or start
those programs from within a terminal
