Bug ID: 50867 Summary: wine start /unix stopped working in 6.5 Product: Wine Version: 6.5 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: duck@duckcorp.org Distribution: ---

Quack,

I just upgraded to 6.5 using WineHQ's Debian packages. My computer is using Debian unstable.

When starting my games using start /unix I now get: (leaving out fixme:font:opentype_enum_font_names lines) $ wine start /unix $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Risen\ 3\ -\ Titan\ Lords/LanguageSetup.exe Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file. ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

If I remove start /unix in this case it works but not all programs will be happy with this unless I manually go into the right workdir, that is why I use this feature as recommended in the user's guide.

6.4 worked fine and many versions before. I did not see anything about this in the news and changelog. Has anything changed?

Regards. _o<

--- Comment #1 from Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org --- What has changed is that Wine is more strict about requiring the file to execute to actually be found on disk. By default, start.exe is installed into c:\windows\command, which is not in the standard path, so it isn't found.

We should probably add a workaround for this case. For the time being, copying start.exe into c:\windows\system32 should work.

What has changed is that Wine is more strict about requiring the file to execute to actually be found on disk. By default, start.exe is installed into c:\windows\command, which is not in the standard path, so it isn't found.

I still have one in system32:

rm -rf ~/ramdisk/.wine

wine winecfg

find . -name start.exe ./drive_c/windows/command/start.exe ./drive_c/windows/system32/start.exe

Then 'wine64 start winecfg' works whereas 'wine start winecfg' fails.

Is this difference intentional? (this is self-compiled wine 6.5)

Thanks,

cp -a ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/command/start.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/

Hi, I had same problem with Wine 6.5, but it is fixed with Wine 6.6 for me.

I run app in FireJail and start it like this: firejail --private="$JAIL" --noprofile wine start /d "$WDIR" /unix "$WDIR"/vietcong.exe

To add to this (from bug 50869), launching applications through Wine from the GUI through file associations with `wine.desktop` also no longer works in Wine 6.5 because that too uses `wine start /unix`.

Confirming this is still a problem even in 6.6.

We are not supposed to have the 64-bit one either, though apparently it doesn't break anything. Maybe we could simply duplicate the 32-bit one into syswow64 to fix this bug.

I have copied ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/command/start.exe into syswow64 and it works now. Do existing prefixes need to be adjusted as such or is the intended fix supposed to work without moving things around?

--- Comment #17 from Andre Heider a.heider@gmail.com --- Even with that patch there's a binary backwards compability issue.

An app built with an older winegcc (here v5.6) doesn't run on v6.6+ee13ab0: Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file. ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

Trying with WINEDEBUG=module yields: libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Even though that of course exists in the installed wine directory.

Building the app with winegcc from v6.6 fixes the issue as that doesn't link anymore against libwine, but running older winegcc binaries is supposed to work on newer versions, right?
