Errors with Wine in Ubuntu

[alforddm]

I'm getting a bit of a weird situation. If I change the directory to the EQ dictory in the terminal and then run "wine eqgame.exe patchme" Everything works.

However, if I try to run like this "wine /media/Windows/EverQuest/eqgame.exe patchme"

I get an error "FINAL Couldn't open or read UIFiles\default\EQLSUI.xml"

I've read on the forum that this is probably due to ubuntu being case sensitive while windows isn't. I attempted to rename the uifiles folder to UIFiles but this didn't help.

Does anyone know how to fix this and why it works when I manually change the directory but not when I try to enter the complete path?

I'm trying to set up a desktop icon for hubby and so I need to be able to use the complete path.

Thanks much!

perhaps you need to set your path variable in wine?

try wine cmd

then verify your path in there

I managed to get a work around running. For the icon


[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=EverQuest
Exec=sh -c "cd /media/EverQuest/ && wine eqgame.exe patchme"
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Icon=eqicon.png
Terminal=false


I'm still not sure why I have to run it with

cd /media/EverQuest/ && wine eqgame.exe patchme Instead of just

wine /media/EverQuest/eqgame.exe patchme

but at least the icon now works.
