[Bug 51359] Wine does see an exe file unless is has an icon

[WineHQ Bugzilla]

--- Comment #3 from Scott <shagooserver at gmail.com> ---
I have followed your advice and created a debug log but it contains nothing
more that I detailed in my opening comment, that being:
wine: cannot find L"/mnt/data1/Software/Multimedia/wavelab6/Install/setup.exe"

It appears that I have not explained fully the chain of events that occurred:
1/attempt to install exe file - unsuccessful
2/rename the exe file to exe1
3/copy a backup of the exe file to the same directory as the renamed exe1 file
4/install the program successfully using the new exe file

Subsequent to successful program installation:
a/compare file properties yo ensure they had the same number of bytes (which
they did)
b/checked permission state on each exe file
c/further check the integrity of the original exe file by successfully
executing it in Windows

By virtue of the fact I am executing the same file(s) with the same permissions
from the same location to the same prefix with exactly the same command and the
backup copy of the file installs correctly would tend to suggest it is not a
wine prefix or path issue. 

If I right click on the exe file and open with Window Program Loader it is
found and started.

There is something wrong or inconsistent with the way wine is reading or not
reading windows installation exe files. I know the file (exe1) is complete
because it installs in windows and shows it's icon and starts execution from
the file manager in Linux (though it does not complete as would be expected).

I did an incomplete search of other installation exe files using the winetricks
GUI and found a couple more instances of non visible (and presumably not
findable by wine) exe files.
