[Bug 24245] New: Search path should include base directory of the installer started

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24245

Summary: Search path should include base directory of the
                    installer started
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.30
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I tried to install the app "DasTelefonbuch Gelbe Seiten Map & Route". The DVD
contains an autorun.inf file which points to start.exe in its root directory
(mounted on /dvd).
If I run start.exe from konqueror or with absolute path (wine /dvd/start.exe)
it fails to find its fellow programs (wine: cannot find
L"C:\windows\system32\setup.exe"). However, if I do a "cd /dvd; wine
start.exe" everything is fine.
So it might be a good idea to include the `dirname` part in the search path of
wine.

The bug seems invalid to me, as it's probably the responsibility of Konqueror
and/or the user to set the working directory correctly for a process. Probably
the autorun launcher assumes that its working directory is on the DVD drive,
and I believe Windows Explorer would set the autorun process's working
directory appropriately when launching.

It looks like I forgot to mark this bug invalid, so I'll do so now.
