wine cant run from the terminal.

[Deleted29]

for eample: when i run something like wine "C:\Program Files\example.exe" it runs for a split second then crashes
when i run wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/example.exe its still the same
but when i run cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ then wine example.exe it works fine, why?

neofetch cuz im slightly lazyy lol:

Is there perhaps any terminal output when it runs for a split second?

I would have suspected working dir problems, that the program tries to load things from its own directory but since its run from outside it will fail

Try wine 'C:\Program Files\example.exe' or wine "C:\\Program Files\\example.exe"

The \ is escaping the P and the e.

doesnt work still

youre right thats the issue, but idk how wine does it, that what im trying to figure out.

Seems wine has a special way of doing this so you need to run it as wine start and specify /d for working directory

wine start /d "C:\Program Files" "C:\Program Files\example.exe"

can also do unix paths does not need to be in wine c-drive

o shit this one works, although it looks overkill

i going to use this for now, but i think there should be a better way to do this
