[PATCH 0/1] MR3615: ntdll: don't terminate process when load_main_exe can't load file.

[Etaash Mathamsetty (＠etaash.mathamsetty)]

Currently, wine is unable to find and execute URIs (such as Link2EA://someurlhere), with this patch wine is able to fall back to using start.exe instead of terminating the process.

[PATCH 1/1] ntdll: don't terminate process when load_main_exe can't load file.

That doesn't seem desirable. You can't run a URI directly on Windows either, you have to use start.exe explicitly.

ok makes sense, I guess legendary is not executing the URI correctly. I will send a patch there I guess.
