Summary: Wine hides native executables completely Product: Wine Version: 0.9.9. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: matthew.flaschen@gatech.edu
Wine implements explorer.exe, notepad, regedit, etc., and makes it impossible to access the original (packaged with Windows) versions of the programs.
For example, if I navigate to my real windows partition, then go to windows/system32, I would expect that (/windows is also the mount-point for my windows partition; I set that up before I got wine):
matthew@matthew-e1505:/windows/windows/system32$ wine ./notepad.exe
would open the real notepad.exe. Instead it opens wine's version. I know wine can open the real notepad, because I copied it to the linux partition, renamed it (realnotepad.exe), and it ran fine. Shouldn't it be possible to run/try to run the original file?
