Is it required that the .exe must be in the ../drive_c folder ?

Hi,
I have been using .exe files in /home/user/Documents folder on linux and wondered if there is any problem with this.
Does it matter where they are run from with "wine my.exe" ?

Please advise and confirm. Thanks

IMHO there is no problem

it is safe to launch it with

Code: Select all

wine my.exe

and better than

Code: Select all

wine dir1/dir2/my.exe

which may need

Code: Select all

wine start dir1/dir2/my.exe

see this doc for starting Captvty

http://neo-net.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f ... fa902b3a25

the file Captvty.exe is in .captvt2 or .captvty3

while you have the C directory in .win32 or .win64

and it works fine, a lot of people have used this doc, with various Linux, such as Debian Ubuntu, Fedora, Mageia, Slackware, Arch...

Normally it doesn't matter, although for some programs (like chromium) it does.
