One more, very interesting, datapoint !
wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE
==> "prepares installation", asks for reboot, fails if reboot
authorized.
env WINEPREFIX="/home/charpent/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\
\start.exe /Unix /home/charpent/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/charpent/Start
\ Menu/Programs/Microsoft\ Office/Microsoft\ Word\ 2010.lnk
==> starts right away, no dialog, no asking for reboot.
Looking at the online help for start.exe says :
"...
/unix Utiliser un chemin Unix et lancer le fichier comme windows
explorer.
[ use a unix path and lauch the file like Windows Explorer ]
"
Aha : Launching the *shortcut* seems to involve a library that is not
found when launching the .exe directly.
So I tried :
wine start /unix .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\
Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE
==> starts right away, no question, no dialog box.
Could some kind soul care to explain why "start" makes a difference ? In
other words, what means "launch the file like Windows Explorer" ?
Bonus question : should this be forwarded to the Bugzilla report
(reopened for the circumstance) ?
Super-bonus question : should this be regarded as a bug ?
Sincerely yours,
Emmanuel Charpentier
