wine users - Jun 2008 - Running programs in wine that are in the PATH

I do alot of work with the Autoit V3 scripting language
(http://autoitscript.com) which is a windows-based high-level language with most
of the functionality of more mainstream languages [/walking billboard]

I used this language as a demonstration.

It seems like running programs in Wine do not respect the Linux PATH. It must be
ran using the entire path I.E running "firefox", which would work in
the terminal, does not work at all. running "/usr/bin/firefox" works
fine.


Code:

Run("firefox")



Doesn't work

Code:

Run("/usr/bin/firefox")



Does work.

Is this a bug, or could this be added in the future?

Thanks.

check what the value of the PATH environment variable is before assuming its set
to what you think it is
