[Wine]Problem calling executable with document as argument

[Ubiratã Silva]

PROBLEM SOLVED.

I found out that the standard Wine package in Mandriva 10.2 is corrupted.

I've download the latest Wine version from winehq.org (for Mandrake)
and it worked just as it should, which is:

wine EDMCONSW.EXE CONNECT.EXT

runs just fine!

thank you all,

Regards,

Bira
