Hi, we have a use case where we want to use the wrapper to deploy a legacy application. The application is bundled in a zip archive that is extracted by the wrapper into the slot directory. This application is called "LegacyApp" and "LegacyApp.exe" on Linux and Windows respectively. Now comes the problem. We want t include the job.xml file as part of the workunit not the appversion. This way we can only set one name "LegacyApp" which causes problems because for an unknown reason Windows 7 will not start a file without the .exe extension.
I looked through the code and found a place (https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/samples/wrapper/wrapper.cpp#L633) where we could add some more logic to detect such a case and add the ".exe" extension. Something like: if on windows and app_path does not exist try app_path+".exe" Another possibility would be to also add the .exe extension to the linux executable but who want's to do that? And remember it later when we wonder why we fixed a Windows Problem on Linux. Any thoughts on that?
