Summary: Error message "Module not found" should be more
obvious
Product: Wine
Version: 1.1.21
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Keywords: integration
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: scott at open-vote.org
On multiple occasions, I have seen users open a terminal and attempt to run
their application by typing something like "wine itunes.exe"
Wine then looks in the current folder (where it isn't), then looks in its
system32 folder (where it also isn't), and then outputs this message:
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\itunes.exe": Module not found
I suggest changing this error message to something clearer based on what the
typical error here, something like:
wine: could not load "itunes.exe": the specified program was not found in the
current directory
This message is more specific to the problem, and more importantly it tells the
user (even a clueless new terminal user) that they need to change the current
directory. So rather than saying "Wine's broken" and making a bad post on a
forum/bug tracker, they'll instead look up how to change a directory in the
terminal.
