           Summary: winevdm tries to run dos apps via dosbox on Z: which
                    is reserved in dosbox
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.12
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: dos
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: pquiring at gmail.com


If you try to run a dos app that is not under .wine/drive_c (C:) winevdm will
try to use Z: which is reserved in dosbox and fails.  Need to mount / with
another drive letter and then run the dos app in that folder.
Winevdm doesn't even create a mount statement for z:

sample bad config generated:

[autoexec]
mount c /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:
mount y /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/y:
Z:
cd \home\user\DATA\games\game
Z:\home\user\DATA\games\game\game.exe
exit
