           Summary: FindFileFirst should ignore some chars
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.44
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel32
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: plr.vincent at gmail.com


When FindFileFirst is called with such path (c-style notation):
  "C:\\Program Files/>"
it should match
  "C:\\Program Files"

A test for this is in the works (first attempt:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2010-May/083434.html ) and this
behavior was confirmed on winxp and win2k.

This has been discovered while investigating the problem of Earth 2160 packaged
by GOG.com:
The installer ciphers the cd key to put it in the registry (as GOG doesn't
provide different keys for each user, the installer contains one):
HKCU\Software\Reality Pump\Earth2160\SerialKey\SerialKey. One of the components
used for this is the creation time of the Earth 2160 installation directory.
It looks up the path of that directory using another registry key created
during the install: HKLM\Software\Reality Pump\Earth2160\FileSystem\DataPath .
This key contains that path with a trailing "/>", which seems to be present on
purpose (removing it makes the game fail very early when executed). The result
is that this path is not found after installation on wine, so the created
registry key is invalid when checked by the game.

Note that the problem is really only in the installer, as the parameter
received by FindFileFirst when game checks the key doesn't contain the trailing
"/>".
