Bug #: 30797
Summary: wine(1) man page should mention running built-in
programs like explorer.exe
Product: Wine
Version: 1.4
Platform: x86-64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: info at skierpage.com
Classification: Unclassified
It's not obvious how to try out or get started with Wine. The command-line only
says
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program
But a stock wine configuration (created by wine 1.4 in Kubuntu amd64 12.04) has
Wine Explorer. You can enter the command
wine explorer.exe
and you're running a Windows executable in wine and you can explore Wine's
default directory layout, etc.
The wine(1) man page should mention this and even suggest it as a form of
troubleshooting, and a way to navigate to programs installed in Wine like
notepad, winmine, etc.
I suggest adding something like the following as the second line under
"PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS":
Wine's default configuration includes several Windows-format executables, so
for example you can just enter
wine explorer.exe
to run the Wine Explorer program from Wine's implementation of the
C:\windows\system32 directory.
