Multiple applications need support for private DLL search paths

Post by Zero3K »

Programs such as Lotus 1-2-3 (part of Lotus SmartSuite 9.8 ), etc. do not run properly because they are complaining of DLLs not being found. Fixing https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625 will get them to load. I think either a patch that gets the Path value of the AppName.exe key to be temporarily added to the Path environment variable (in other words, add it and then remove it after the program gets closed) or a patch that searches for the DLL in the path value will fix it.

Here are some links to programs that have this issue:

Yes, it's a known issue, though I honestly don't see the point of this post. Please don't push devs, it happens when it happens.
