--- Comment #5 from Emmanuel Charpentier <emm.charpentier at free.fr> ---
Further trials show that the problem is not distribution-bound :

wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE
==> failure as described above.

wine start /unix .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\
Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE
==> success.

wine "c:\program files\microsoft office\office14\winword.exe"
==> success also.

This is reproductible under Debian (Jessie) and Ubuntu (14.04.1). I was
misdirected by the fact that, currently, Debian Jessie's "application menu"
extension to Gnome doesn't display my "Wine" menu content, directing me to my
(simplistic) use of command line, whereas the Ubuntu menu uses "start /unix" +
a Unix path to a Windows shortcut (.lnk).

Michael Gilbert, of the Debian Wine gang explains that "Wine doesn't really
support unix paths anymore". See details on the Debian bug report #760509.

Isn't this a regression ? More to the point : is this documented ?

And, oh, by the way : the online help for start says :
"/unix         Utiliser un chemin Unix et lancer le fichier comme windows
explorer."
(Use a Unix path and launch the file like Windows Explorer)

What in hell is this supposed to mean ???

HTH,
