Wine path-association

[c_andy_man]

hello.

I am trying to install an exe-file in the Program-Path of an individual Wine-Prefix. This exe-file reads an Inifile, which is in the same Directory.

When I use Winefile to open the .exe, the inifile is read correctly.
When I use it in a .desktop file with the order below, it does not work.

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX "/opt/WPrefix" wine "C:\Program Files\Test\test.exe"

What is the problem and what can I do?

Should be:

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/opt/WPrefix" wine "C:\Program Files\Test\test.exe"

There is no difference to my code!

I just changed the .exe so that the @WorkingDir gets displayed in a messagebox.
That leads to "C:\Program Files\Test\" when i use it via winedir
and to Z:\root when i use it from the shortcut.
Somehow the path where the exe is executed is not the same.

That's what the set working directory option is for.

The difference is WINEPREFIX="/opt/WPrefix" instead of WINEPREFIX "/opt/WPrefix"...

See? An = instead of a space.

Okay. so workingdir is simply wrong because it shows the standard user-directory...

The when the exe opens the file is by using fileRead("inifile.ini",0) without a path => in the actual directory. This works on windows, no matter where i put the two files.
But in Linux/Wine, when the inifile is in the same directory as the exe, the file will not be read.

Not true. Try starting your program on windows from 'cmd' from a different directory specifying the full path. Ex:

Code: Select all

c:
cd \
d:\some\program\dir\my_program.exe
