I posted to the list a day or two ago about a problem that I thought was related to a new kernel (http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2004/08/0178.html) As it turns out, I've discovered that I *can* run programs in Wine as a non-privileged user; what fails for me is calling those same programs from a batch file. To summarize what I've found: Suppose that 'foo.exe' is the complete text of foo.bat, and make it world-readable. 'wine foo.exe' works both for root and for others. 'wine start.exe foo.bat' works for root but fails for others. The errors look like this: fixme:exec:ShellExecuteExW32 flags ignored: 0x00000500 fixme:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW Strange error set by CreateProcess: 203 fixme:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW Strange error set by CreateProcess: 203 Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specifi ed file. ShellExecuteEx failed: Environment variable not found Additionally, 'wine start.exe' with no arguments works fine for all users---it prints the help for start.exe. So there's no problem running start.exe; it's the ShellExecuteEx call in it that's failing. This worked (for me, at least) in 20040505, and hasn't in any release since. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
