I get the same problem. However, when I attempt to open with cmd.exe, I get "Could not find file 'cmd.exe'" This is a pretty serious bug. There are no known workarounds. There is a start.exe command in windows 2000+ that launches any file with the appropriate app. I think it'll probably work for .exes too. If so, this would constitute a workaround, and probably would solve the issue (at least in a temporary, ugly way), if .exe files were mapped to it via a mimetype. Adjusting the severity, as "critical" is for security issues, data loss or more, while this is just a missing feature (or misbehaviour) that does not affect anything else. About the priority, let Peter decide (and thus put it back to "normal"). CC'ing KDE Windows list to this report, as its platform specific. A workaround for this: Edit the mime type for .exe file to use cmd.exe with /c option. This causes cmd to start the application and then exit. I can now run exe in both Konqueror and Dolphin. Still working on batch files though. Fixed in svn one week ago with svn r869705 Don't know if it's already backported to 4.1 by SaroEngels |
