screenshot of error

When using the .exe installer for Frasse and the Peas of Kejick, the install
process appears to succeed, but the game pops up the following error instead of
starting:

SLUDGE v1.6 startup error!

Can't open file c:windowsprofilesmehApplicationDataFrasse and the Peas of
KejickFrasse.slg

[OK]

The web site also includes a .zip file of the game, which runs fine.

This is apparently a problem with the shortcut. The command is:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/meh/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Frasse and the Peas of
Kejick\Frasse.exe" C:\windows\profiles\meh\Application Data\Frasse and the Peas
of Kejick\Frasse.slg

The \ character is being treated specially on Linux.

Ok, well, that's the last time I trust the menu editor to tell me anything.

In the .desktop file, the actual line is:

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/meh/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Frasse and the
Peas of Kejick\Frasse.exe" C:\windows\profiles\meh\Application
Data\Frasse and the Peas of Kejick\Frasse.slg

Which I can copy/paste into a terminal, and that makes everything ok.

I can also do this:

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/meh/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Frasse and the
Peas of Kejick\Frasse.exe" "C:\windows\profiles\meh\Application"
"Data\Frasse" and the Peas of "Kejick\Frasse.slg"

or this:

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/meh/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Frasse and the
Peas of Kejick\Frasse.exe" C:\\windows\\profiles\\meh\\Application
Data\\Frasse and the Peas of Kejick\\Frasse.slg

Apparently .desktop requires, for a reason I do not understand, that everything
weird is escaped twice.

Created an attachment (id=13165)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=13165)
patch to escape things for .desktop files more

This patch seems to solve the issue.
> From the Desktop Entry spec, it appears \\ is the correct way to represent a

\ in the Exec field, whether the \ happens to be in quotation marks or not. For
some reason, \ happens to result in a \ sent to the program if it happens to
be in quotes, but it's not clear whether this is reliable behavior, and it does
not happen outside of the quotes.

Maybe what you really want is to just put the arguments in double quotes?

I don't think so. The .lnk files has the arguments without double quotes so the
.desktop file should treat the different parts of the filename as separate
arguments. It would be impossible for Wine to determine the semantics involved.

And I've just tried putting the whole thing in double-quotes using the shell.
The program did not start.

Well I guess if you want to follow Windows as close as possible, \\ it is.

I was going to, but I'm worried other Desktop Environments might react
differently from GNOME, causing a horrible regression during the code freeze.
(I am human and the Desktop Entry Spec is confusing; I could certainly have
misread it.)

Installs fine, but when run, expects to open a saved game. Choosing cancel
closes the game. Running the exe from the zip file on the author's website
works fine.

Can someone test this one in windows? It may be an application bug.

It works in Windows. Winemenubuilder isn't escaping 's properly when it
creates the .desktop files.

I wasn't using the menu shortcut, I ran it from terminal.

Running it from the terminal does not work on Windows, but the menu shortcut
does. If you insist on starting it from the terminal, start the .lnk file in
that directory (that should also work on Wine, since it skips the .desktop
conversion).

Running it from terminal for me gave the same results windows does, which was
my question. The bug is about the .desktop shortcut. Adjusting the summary to
reflect that.

Removing deprecated CVS/GIT version tag. Please retest in current git. If the
bug is still present in today's wine, but was not present in some earlier
version of wine, please update version field to earliest known version of wine
that had the bug. Thanks!

Still present in 1.1.37.

CCing Damjan Jovanovic since he's been working on winemenubuilder.

This is substantially more complex than it would appear.

Windows itself can quote and escape arguments, in an undocumented way that is
different from fd.o (but seems like what shell32 does?), and contain %windir%
and other fun inside the arguments. So the arguments need to be unescaped,
preprocessed and argified, then re-escaped in fd.o style multiple backslashes.
