[Bug 14965] New: Wine not passing Windows program arguments correctly

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14965

Summary: Wine not passing Windows program arguments correctly
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.3
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When running, say:

wine C:\Program\ Files\Diablo\ II\Game.exe -direct -txt

OR the Linux variant of the path

The arguments never reach the program.  However, when going into the same
directory and running it from there:

cd /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Diablo\ II/

and then running:

wine Game.exe -direct -txt

It works.  Even if you try to run it from one directory down, but still "on the
Windows drive", by going:

/drive_c/Program Files$ wine \Diablo\ II\Game.exe -direct -txt

OR

/drive_c/Program Files$ Diablo\ II/Game.exe -direct -txt

It still doesn't work.  So it's not some strange thing with needing to run wine
from the "Windows drive".  Running it from within the Windows command line also
exhibits the same problem.  When running:

C:\Program Files>Diablo II\Game.exe -direct -txt

It doesn't work, but when running

C:\Program Files\Diablo II>Game.exe -direct -txt

It works.

That's retarded.  Why not fix this Windows bug then in Wine?  Surely fixing
this couldn't hurt anything?

It's not a Windows bug. If anything it's a bug in the application that it is
sensitive to the working directory. The wine command passes the working
directory as-is to the program, like the windows command line, and this is not
going to change.

If you want to match the Windows GUI behavior, what Diablo probably expects,
methods are provided for that. Use the shortcuts Wine set up when you installed
the program (which you can take apart to see how to do the same thing in the
command-line) or double-click on the exe file (which runs 'wine start /unix
unix-path-of-file').

Since it's a bug in the program nor in Windows then I guess that's all I needed
to know.  Thanks. ^^
