Hello,

--- wine user guide ---
Because Windows programs will often look for files in the location they were
started from, when using the command line you should start them in a very
specific way: "change directory" to the folder where the program is located and
run the .exe file using only its filename.

Unless there were changes that I'm unaware of, this has always been the way to
start windows applications from the command line (and scripts).

You can find an explanation there:
https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=14623

If the issue only affects non-standard wine usage, then it can't be major or
critical.

Please try to change to the application directory before running the command
and report what happens.

Regards.
