open network path

xekhz · Post by **xekhz** » Thu Oct 30, 2008 10:24 am

Hello ppl,
I have an application that gets updates via a network path
for example \\192.168.40.100\ is the update-server

in WINE i can only make the updates if I mount via samba the available share

z:/ -> is the \\192.168.40.100

And I must configure the server to show updates in Z: so that the wine clients can make the updates.

To update the windows clients I change the config again to \\192.168.40.100\

Any Idea to keep this in only one way

There's a recipe at
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425#c9

Basically, use smbmount to mount the share somewhere,
then make a symlink in ~/.wine/unc pointing to it.

Good luck!

Thanks for the help I made some progresses but it dosent fully work

I get this error
err:file:GetLongPathNameW UNC pathname L"\\\\192.168.40.100\\airc\\updates\\sca\\install.exe"

BUT if I execute winebrowse form a terminal it works.
winebrowse "\\\\192.168.40.100\\airc\\updates\\sca\\install.exe"

So what is the problem ??

Read the bug Dan pointed to. Only some limited functionality is implemented. And the bug itself is not closed.

I read it, but if winebrowse or winepath resolves the UNC correctly..............
how can I debug to see whats is really happening?

It is the path threw the wine. Some ways are implemented others are not.

You can use wine debuging channels and run a trace threw winebrowse and you will see it is not using GetLongPathNameW .

GetLongPathNameW is looking up information on the file.

UNC is working. Getting more information about the file not working in this case.

Yep two bugs.

How can fool wiine so that it continues the process.

If you want UNC - then implement missing functionality.

Or just don't use UNC.
