winepath-test.sh
WINEPATH seems to have some undocumented limits, which cause the in-windows
PATH to be corrupted.
One limit, around 969 characters, causes the PATH to drop the suffix that's
usually appended (C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\system32\wbem).
Another limit, around 1025 characters, causes the PATH to entirely ignore
what's in WINEPATH.
I'm not sure why these limits exist-- can't Windows support arbitrarily long
PATHs? (I've routinely seen huge PATHs on Win7/Win10.)
The attached winepath-test.sh makes a WINEPATH of various sizes and then echos
the size and the %PATH% in the cmd shell.
The output looks like:
