            Bug ID: 141512
           Summary: com.sun.star.system.SystemShellExecute does not
                    correctly process paths with wildcards
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: BASIC
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: joesch04 at web.de

Description:
Since LO 7.x, paths with wildcards are no longer processed correctly by
"com.sun.star.system.SystemShellExecute".

As an example you can install mottco (http://calc-info.de/files/mottco_200.oxt)
and call the button "Hilfe/Über....--->Dokumentation anzeigen" there, which
starts the following macro:

Sub help_call()
        Dim aService
        Dim pdf_directory

        aService =
GetDefaultContext().getByName("/singletons/com.sun.star.deployment.PackageInformationProvider") 
        pdf_directory = aService.getPackageLocation("org.joesch.mottco") &
"/mottco/"
        If FileExists(ConvertToUrl(pdf_directory & "mottco_help.pdf")) Then
                        Dim start as object
                        start =
createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SystemShellExecute")
                        start.execute(ConvertToUrl(pdf_directory &
"mottco_help.pdf"), "", 0)
                Else
                        MsgBox ("The help file was not found." ,16, "Help file
not available")
                        Exit Sub
        End If
End Sub

Up to LO 6.x this worked correctly, since 7.x it gives the following error
message:
"file:///E:/LO_710/LibreOfficePortable/App/libreoffice/program/../../Data/settings/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/lu7860nw7fts.tmp_/mottco_200.oxt
could not be found [...]"

In "FileExists( ..." the path is evaluated correctly here, because the
following returns "True":

aService =
GetDefaultContext().getByName("/singletons/com.sun.star.deployment.PackageInformationProvider") 
pdf_directory = aService.getPackageLocation("org.joesch.mottco") & "/mottco/"
Msgbox FileExists(ConvertToUrl(pdf_directory & "mottco_help.pdf"))



Steps to Reproduce:
1.install http://calc-info.de/files/mottco_200.oxt
2.run: Hilfe/Über....--->Dokumentation anzeigen
3.

Actual Results:
you get the error message (example):  
"file:///E:/LO_710/LibreOfficePortable/App/libreoffice/program/../../../Data/settings/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/lu7860nw7fts.tmp_/mottco_200.oxt
konnte nicht gefunden werden [...]"

Expected Results:
The path should be correctly detected and a PDF file should be opened


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
The problem is not specific to the extensions named "mottco", this extension is
only given as an example because it requires an extension to reproduce the
error, since the return of :

aService =
GetDefaultContext().getByName("/singletons/com.sun.star.deployment.PackageInformationProvider") 
        pdf_directory = aService.getPackageLocation("org.joesch.mottco") &
"/mottco/"

as input value for:

start = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SystemShellExecute")
                        start.execute(ConvertToUrl(pdf_directory &
"mottco_help.pdf"), "", 0)

is needed, because in the returned path for .getPackageLocation, the
placeholder "/../../../" occurs.
