wine users - Oct 2003 - Probelms with file path (directory delimiters)

Hi :)

I try to run a simple windows application. It works fine with most of
it's functions, but it fails at accesing some files.

The aplication is located in:

/root/.wine/c/Program Files/Aplication/aplication.exe

It runs fine, but sometimes this application must create 2
subdirectories and then create, place (in these newly created
directories) and send to another host an archive (.zip) file - ie.

c:/Program Files/Aplication/Data/Subdirectory1/Subdirectory2/archive.zip

Those subdirectories and file is created properly, but when it comes to
sending this file the error occours.

I turn on this application debuging function, and see that it want to
access this archive with strange path :

Debug: Sending C:\Program
Files\Application\Data\Subdirectory1/Subdirectory2/archive.zip

This path is combined with 4 backslashes and 2 slashes and that's why
this application getting weird.

How can i configure wine to fix this problem ?

Best regards
Michael

Don't run wine as root.

Avoid to run Wine as root, this is absolutely unneeded.
Wine is a user app.
