[Bug 15174] New: Lotus Organizer must be run from own directdory

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15174

Summary: Lotus Organizer must be run from own directdory
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Hi All,

The only way I can get Lotus Organizer 9.8.0208.1300 to run is to CD to
its own directory before starting:

kdesu -u $USER -c "cd /home/todd/.wine/drive_c/lotus/organize; org5.exe"

And, it is in my Path:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]
"PATH"="C:\lotus\compnent;C:\lotus\approach;C:\lotus\wordpro;C:\lotus\123;C:\lotus\spell;C:\lotus\organize"

Error message:

$ /home/todd/.wine/drive_c/lotus/organize/org5.exe
err:module:attach_process_dlls "orutil.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"C:\lotus\organize\org5.exe" failed, status c0000142

Note: orutil.dll is found in C:\lotus\organize (which is in my path)

Many thanks,
-T

Some windows programs require being run from their current directory.
Application bug, not wine's.

Are you sure of this?  Native Windows links have a "Start in Directory"
setting.  You do not.  The Windows programmer has no reason to believe
things would be otherwise.

I will leave it up to your judgment.

p.s. another way to run this kind of pain in the neck is:

sh -c "command1; command2"   or
    sh -c "cd /home/todd/.wine/drive_c/lotus/organize; org5.exe"

might be something for a readme?

If you're using a .desktop link, the freedesktop standard supports this, but
not all window managers do.
