Summary: Respect %windir% in middle of file path Product: Wine Version: 1.1.33 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: scott@open-vote.org
Installing Performance Guru with Wine generates this desktop file:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Name=Performance Guru Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/scott/.wine" wine "C:\program files\Flygprestanda\%windir%\system32\javaw.exe" -Djava.library.path=.\ -Dguru.path=.\ -jar "c:\program files\Flygprestanda\guru-core.jar" Type=Application StartupNotify=true Path=/home/scott/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Flygprestanda Icon=/home/scott/.local/share/icons/d37a_flygp.png
However, this .desktop file doesn't work for actually opening the application. Wine returns:
wine: cannot find 'C:\program files\Flygprestanda%windir%\system32\javaw.exe'
If I manually change this to: Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/scott/.wine" wine "C:\windows\system32\javaw.exe" -Djava.library.path=.\ -Dguru.path=.\ -jar "c:\program files\Flygprestanda\guru-core.jar"
The program loads a bit but dies with a java file not found warning when I double click the .desktop file. The same thing happens when I run the above in a terminal window (from folder ~).
If I change my working directory to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Flygprestanda on the terminal and then run the exec line above it works normally.
So it seems that there are 2 things: 1) we don't support %windir% properly when it's in the middle of the file path, and 2) we need to set the working directory to whatever the path was before the %windir%

--- Comment #3 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@codeweavers.com 2009-11-24 02:39:44 --- A better question would be 'does such broken .lnk file work under Windows'?

--- Comment #4 from Scott Ritchie scott@open-vote.org 2009-11-24 13:59:19 --- The desktop shortcut Vista creates works in Vista. Unsure about other Windows.

--- Comment #5 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2009-11-24 14:13:25 --- I think Dmitry was trying to imply that Wine may be generating broken .lnk files that wouldn't work on Windows.

--- Comment #8 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com 2013-10-01 07:40:50 CDT --- I can't find an application that depends on this, the original application from Flygprestanda is not available for download. Comment 6 suggests it was fixed 3 years ago.

--- Comment #9 from Scott Ritchie scott@open-vote.org 2013-10-01 15:01:37 CDT --- I don't have my download of the app handy either. Given that no one can test it, though it's presumed fixed, I'm marking abandoned.
