Bug #: 30227 Summary: .lnk shortcuts created by NSIS installer: last parameter done wrong Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: setupapi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jmichae3@yahoo.com Classification: Unclassified
The last parameter's shortcuts created during installation for .lnk files are created incorrectly.
Instead of having the spaces escapedwith \ the string should be surrounded by double quotes and the \ escape characters not put in. This will cause the shortcuts to work properly.
UNIX works properly with double quoted strings. please fix. thanks.

--- Comment #1 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy-bugzilla@kievinfo.com 2012-03-19 20:37:04 CDT --- What Wine version? If it's not at least wine-1.4 - upgrade.
Can you give an example of such .lnk shortcut? Please attach to this bug.

--- Comment #2 from Jim Michaels jmichae3@yahoo.com 2012-03-24 16:04:52 CDT --- I had to replace that linux with windows 8 on my only test box. this happens with any of my NSIS installer-based applications which create shortcuts, on Linux Mint 10. I don't know what version of WINE that is, or how to tell. since you are probably running the latest, I would be curious to know if the problem is fixed. the applications you can run are at http://sf.net/projects/phone-ltd http://sf.net/projects/getversionex http://sf.net/projects/simplesysinfo
these are gui apps, some of them like getversionex and simplesysinfo call a back-end commandline app to run. any of the above will create shortcuts. NSIS also always automatically creates an Uninstall.lnk shortcut. .lnk files are windows shortcuts. so are .url files, those are internet shortcuts, usually in the form of an ini file renamed as a .url file usually with just 1 entry, and browsers make those, but installers can to using WriteINI().
I have a bunch more. I am curious if console applications (commandline .exe+dll apps) compiled with mingw-w64 can run on WINE as well and still be visible and be interactive. I don't see a command shell. wonder if it runs on an xterm or what...
I would like to use a distribution which does not hamper WINE, but I don't know what that would be.

--- Comment #4 from Jim Michaels jmichae3@yahoo.com 2012-08-01 03:08:08 CDT --- have you tried this yet on your machine? does installation of windows apps with an installer work perfectly on your box as far as creating a shortcut? or...? that's what this bug is about.
the machine I was on was a 32-bit box with 2GiB RAM if that makes any difference. I will try in the future to remember to state which linux version Iam using. right now, my test box won't have a dvd burner for another 2-4 months so I can install linux again. right now the machine has windows 8 on it.
my budget for hardware is on a waiting list right now.
