            Bug ID: 50345
           Summary: `wine` always loads executable from
                    $WINEPREFIX/windows instead of given path if filenames
                    match
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.22
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wineserver
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

      Distribution: ---

I was working on a modification to Wine Notepad, and ran into the following
oddity when trying to test my changes:

`wine ./notepad.exe` does not run the correct executable. Instead of the newly
built executable in the current directory, it ran
`$WINEPREFIX/windows/notepad.exe` instead.

Even when specifying the absolute path, `$PWD/notepad.exe`, it still ran the
wrong one.

The only way to run the correct executable was to rename it.

Furthermore, I observed the following:

$ wine ./notepad.exe
<wrong notepad opens>
$ rm ./notepad.exe
$ wine ./notepad.exe
wine: cannot find L"./notepad.exe"
$
