[Bug 47347] New: Enderal fails to load plugins

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47347

Bug ID: 47347
           Summary: Enderal fails to load plugins
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.9
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Enderal fails to load plugins, most likely because Skyrim Redirector
(https://github.com/Davipb/SkyrimRedirector) is not working properly.
Moving the config files to the default Skyrim location fixes the issue as far
as i can tell.

I can confirm this issue.

Prequisite dotnet462 (otherwise Enderal Launcher with WIne Mono generate a
wrong  plugins.txt )

Moving Application Data\Endereal\plugins.txt to Application
Data\Skyrim\plugins.txt allow Enderal to start.

Ok, I was looking into the SkyrimRedirector sourcecode.

The main issue seems to be the plugins.txt redirection only.
the two ini seems redirected fine. (Reneame the Ederal's inis and the game will
crash at start)

The last file "plugins.txt" isn't redirected at all.

SR check for the last components of the path, and apply the substitution only
if the  canonical path end with "APPDATA\LOCAL\SKYRIM\PLUGINS.TXT

However in wine Skyrim doesn't use this path at all but instead Local
Setting\Application Data\Skyrim\Plugins.txt

Proper fix would to use APPDATA for "Win Vista or Above" compatibiliy mode.

In the while I belive I can implement a "Wine specific redirect" inside SR.

https://github.com/llde/SkyrimRedirector/releases/tag/1.2.1

Here is a version of SkyrimRedirect that fully work on wine, at least on my
rig.
