Is {ABSOLUTE_PATH} reachable in the Wine Filesystem with some Drive letter?

Is the application under windows started from somewhere or after
cd {ABSOLUTE_PATH} ?

Is there some Environment setting for that executable in Windows that
specifies that path?

Try again after changing to the {ABSOLUTE_PATH} directory.
