[Bug 26303] New: Rayman 2 Demo menu item doesn't work until you remove a backslash

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26303

Summary: Rayman 2 Demo menu item doesn't work until you remove
                    a backslash
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.15
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

(sha1sum 14b2ad6f41e2e1358f3a4a5167d67a7111ea4fb5 )
is a cute little game that works well if you do
  winetricks-alpha vd=640x480 dinput
and run it with
  wine c:\UbiSoft\Rayman2Demo\Rayman2Demo.exe
but it fails if you use the freedesktop.org icon placed
on the desktop or in the system menus.  The icon target is

env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/rayman2_demo" wine
C:\windows\UbiSoft\SetupUbi.exe -play\ Rayman2

That command in a terminal reproduces the error. 
Removing the backslash between 'play' and 'Rayman2'
works around the problem, and lets you start the game from the menus.

And commenting out the line
        case ' ':
in winemenubuilder.c in escape() also works around the bug.

Are there programs that rely on spaces being escaped in fdo desktop entries?

Let's make this just about the desktop icon.  The system menu entry seems to be
a different problem.

My guess is you installed it for the "Current user" instead of "All users" (if
you were given the choice), thus it put the .lnk file in ~/Desktop, forcing
winemenubuilder to use the old code for generating a .desktop file that parses
the .lnk file, instead of the new code that launches the .lnk file with
start.exe directly. In other words, this is probably a side effect of bug 3548
(or a duplicate of it, if you prefer that view).

I'm pretty sure this was a default install.

Still in wine-1.6-rc4-99-g94c7806.

Nothing asked about "Current User" or "All Users" during installation

I didn't try to get it work, but the desktop icon definitely doesnt start the
demo.

Download doesn't seem to work for me anymore,but should be quite safe to assume
that the issue still remains 1.7.51

I could download it, you just need to use a proper FTP client to download it.

Don't assume it's fixed/still present if you could not test.

Still present in wine-9.0.

# this command works after two backslashes are removed from the desktop file in
"-play\ Rayman2"
$ kioclient5 exec To\ Play\ Rayman\ 2\ Demo.desktop 
Script not loaded! Could not open the
fileC:\windows\UbiSoft\InstData\ubiins.des

# This works out of the box
$ WINEPREFIX="/mynew/prefix" wine start To\ Play\ Rayman\ 2\ Demo.lnk

Game starts normally, monitor switches to 640x480 resolution and that is not
restored back to original after quiting the game. Menus show in 640x480
resolution very blurred, probably needs virtual desktop.
