problem with start.exe in 1.1.41 ?

[leniviy]

inside cmd shell a simple command "start cmd" not works anymore. But I don't see any similar reports from other people. What can be wrong? I already tried new wineprofile

Those traces don't really help, as they indicate that start.exe exists (but we already knew that)... What we'd need is some sort of indication of where it's trying to find cmd...

"start c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" DOES seem to work, so it somehow doesn't find the program in that location by itself anymore.

[leniviy]

no, it doesn't
Z:\home\il>start c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
File not found

[leniviy]

looks like
CreateProcessW(NULL, L"start.exe foo", ...) no longer works in 1.1.41, while
CreateProcessW(NULL, L"start.exe", ...) still works.

[DaVince]

Weird, that one only does if you do it straight from sh using "wine start ...".

Since it's an exe, can't you just leave out the "start" part? You can launch EXE files by just referencing them without any "start", anyway...
