Summary: NtQueryDirectoryFile fails if querying a symbolic link (eg: My Documents -> /home/username) Product: Wine Version: 0.9.32. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-files AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: silverblade_uk@hotmail.com
By default, the user's profile contains a My Documents symbolic link pointing to the home directory of that user. This can be configured with winecfg I believe.
However, it seems that WINE fails to acknowledge the existence of these files or directories when an application tries to access them.
If removing the symlink and using a real directory instead, with the same name, the directory is seen.
See the log which I'm attaching next (I've highlighted the part where I believe it's going wrong.)
