kernel 2.6.8 and wine

[Joel Uckelman]

Hi,

I have a question about the interaction between the current kernel
(2.6.8-1.521) and the current version of Wine (20040813). I can run programs
in Wine as root, but when I try to run the same programs as a normal user,
Wine fails with some error messages like this:

fixme:exec:ShellExecuteExW32 flags ignored: 0x00000500
fixme:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW Strange error set by CreateProcess: 203
fixme:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW Strange error set by CreateProcess: 203
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specifi
ed file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Environment variable not found

(This particular bunch of errors came from attempting to run a batch file
using 'wine start.exe'.)

As per the release notes for the kernel, I tried using a newer version of
setarch (1.4-3) with the -L flag, but that gave the same results as using
an older version of setarch or none at all---the program ran as root, but
failed otherwise.

I've already asked one of the Wine lists about this, without any luck.
Does anyone here have any idea what I can do to get Wine to work for normal
users, and why 'setarch -L' doesn't do that?
