If you're trying to create a script or launcher to run it I have always just used:

cd /path/to/app/top/level && wine app.exe

There are numerous programs that don't like running unless the called from the same directory where the executable lives. This, as far as I know, has been the case with wine quite some time. Some progs create a registry entry that specifies the root dir for the app, but most don't.

Hi,

I'm still struggling with my vfp app in wine. This time I removed all traces of my old deb 0.9.1 installation and did a compile from cvs.

Using wine tools I got my base setup and M$ extras installed, and then installed my runtime app again using its own (wise) installer. The problem persists that it doesn't find its own dependencies if I fire it up from anything other than its top level directory. A previous post here about another users problems suggested that the app must be installed using the wine installer, but I can't find any place to install applications that are not “tested” from within wine tools.

Can someone say how I get an application to find its own parts if it is fired up using:
Wine “C:\[pathto]application.exe”f from some other place in the system.


Hmm... well I just tested a VFP 7 app with a CVS version of Wine from about Nov 6. It seems to work okay for me. Of course, that doesn't help you. Does it not find any of the DLLs? What do you get from
 WINEDEBUG=loaddll;wine C:\[pathto]application.exe
