Bug ID: 56471 Summary: starting of native program with "start /unix ..." is broken Product: Wine Version: 9.5 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: andreas.franz@arcor.de Distribution: ---

Since 9.5, "start /unix <native-command>" is broken. A "file not found" error is thrown. PATHEXT is set with added dot at the end. Everything works fine with winehq 9.0-9.4.

regards, Andy

--- Comment #1 from Alistair Leslie-Hughes leslie_alistair@hotmail.com --- This doesn't just affect start /unix.

Using ShellExecute with a unix path also fails.

--- Comment #2 from yshuiv7@gmail.com --- I am trying to figure out the best solution to this.

ShellExecute used to throw the command at CreateProcess, which works as CreateProcess will start a native program if it finds it. But this is wrong because CreateProcess searches for executables differently from ShellExecute.

After my MR ShellExecute searches for executables the right way and pass a fully path to CreateProcess. If I now need to add the ability of running native programs to ShellExecute, it would pollute FindExecutable and PathResolve as well.

How widely is this particular functionality used? If it's just `start /unix` can we change `start` to use CreateProcess directly?

--- Comment #3 from yshuiv7@gmail.com --- Is it enough to make sure ShellExecute("executable.") will file "executable", IIUC? A dot is appended to PATHEXT.

--- Comment #5 from Alistair Leslie-Hughes leslie_alistair@hotmail.com --- At the simplest solution, might be to detect the first / since Unix programs have to be a full path. So then by bypassing the search paths.

Windows paths generally start with a drive letter.

--- Comment #6 from yshuiv7@gmail.com --- I think this should fix it: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/5400

Executing a file with a dot at the end should now start the unix program.

unix paths are converted to NT paths before they get to ShellExecute, IIUC

--- Comment #11 from AndyF andreas.franz@arcor.de --- In my case, executing an executable shell-script at wine's user-context works fine. Username: "andy", owner of the script: "andy",too. -> success

Executing a binary-program like e. g. "bash" fails, though.

Maybe it's at rights-thing?

--- Comment #12 from KIL kilenab937@nweal.com --- I'm in the same situation with a tool.exe that worked for years calling a linux script.

My tool.exe reads the name of the script from an .ini file where it is set, then it checks that the file is preset and tries to exec it. (tool.exe, tool.ini, script.sh are all in the same folder)

tool.ini: external_script="/usr/local/tool/script.sh"

Until 9.3 it was working correctly.

Now, with any build >= 9.5 and also latest master my tool.exe gives no error about file presence but does NOT executes it.

If i rename the script, the tool correctly produces a warning about the missing file.

THEN, the point. If I change the tool.ini, setting the script name WITHOUT the absolute path; external_script="script.sh"

Now tool.exe executes it correctly.

So, recent wine versions cannot execute external linux scripts when they are defined with full path!
