It looks to me as if the current Wine quotes the command line appropriately - but AFAICT, a windows program doesn't get argv[0] on the command line, so I guess the C runtime startfile has to construct argc and argv from GetModuleFilename and the command line or so. IIRC, somebody has worked on commandline quoting recently. You could try wine -dll msvcrt=b 'C:\Program Files\intuit\qbtimer\qbtimer.exe' or wine -dll crtdll=b 'C:\Program Files\intuit\qbtimer\qbtimer.exe' depending which one the app uses, but I don't hold out much hope the builtin msvcrt is quite up to it yet. or try wine --debugmsg +relay \ 'C:\Program Files\intuit\qbtimer\qbtimer.exe' \ 2>&1 |tee ~/logfile to try to see where the app is trying to get the filename from and we can work from there, maybe. Those \ only serve to continue the command to the next line so it doesn't wrap in the mail.
