            Bug ID: 124776
           Summary: Running soffice.exe with a relative path from Command
                    Prompt doesn't work
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: tml at iki.fi

Description:
Try to run soffice.exe from Command Prompt (this is specific to Windows,
obviously) using instdir\program\soffice.exe. The soffice.exe and soffice.bin
processes run for a short while but exit then without doing anything.

Using an absolute pathname C:\where\ever\instdir\program\soffice.exe works.

Not sure how long this has been broken. But surely the intent is that using
just instdir\program\soffice.exe should work? (Like it does when run from a
Cygwin shell in mintty, and on Linux.)

The problem seems to be that getIniFileName_Impl() in sal/rtl/bootstrap.cxx
does not return a file: URL but a relative pathname, huh.

And that is because osl_getExecutableFile() does not return an absolute
filename, but what happens to be in argv[0]. Surely we should use some other
way to find out the executable's pathname and not rely on what happens to be in
argv[0] (Also, sal_detail_initialize() takes a plain char argv, not a wchar_t
one, and thus is fairly broken already when LibreOffice is installed in a
pathname that isn't expressible in the system codepage. We should use
GetModulePathNameW(NULL,...).
