The default path \TIMIDITY has two problems:

1. if the current drive is D:, and timidity.cfg is in C:\TIMIDITY,
   it won't be found. Relative drive names are almost never a good idea
   when looking for config files.

2. On Wine, the default drive is usually Z:, the whole Linux
   drive. And we can't really put a symlink /timidity -> /etc/timidity
   just for Wine. But we could very easily arrange for e.g.
   C:\Windows\Timidity to point to /etc/timidity.

I'll attach a suggested patch. (Hi Sam!)

I should mention that patch is untested, it's just to show the idea.

A little advice

Instead of using C:, I'd suggest you fetch the environment variable %SYSTEMDRIVE%. Perhaps fall back on C: if the environment variable (for some reason) does not exist.

It is possible to remap the drives in Windows - a common process on Citrix-solutions. %SYSTEMDRIVE%\timidity\timidity.cfg should work regardless of the letter of the system drive.

Hi Dan! :)

This is fixed for the next release. I default Windows to C:\TIMIDITY and added a TIMIDITY_CFG environment variable so you can fully specify the timidity.cfg file.

Thanks!
