Description
The French version of Gregory (100% malin) is recognized as English, then crashes immediately on start. Here's the ScummVM command output:
User picked target 'gregory-win-1' (gameid 'composer')... Looking for a plugin supporting this gameid... Magic Composer Engine Starting 'Composer Game' failed to open '../data/page99.rsc'!
MD5 of BOOK.INI:

Assume this game is http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Gregory_and_the_Hot_Air_Balloon ?

The Windows French version of Gregory and the Hot Air Balloon is still recognized as English.
I had the same crash (failed to open '../data/page99.rsc'!),
but moving the resource files to a data directory fixed it.
BTW the Composer games are not listed on the datafiles page.
Thanks !

Removing all owners from release blockers so they can be reclaimed during the release process. If you are the previous owner and would graciously fix this bug for the next release, please go ahead and re-add yourself as owner.

The game should now be detected with the proper language (fixed in commit 0b28ea98840).

What I see here is that the user first installed the game and then tried to launch it.
On installation he got files in:
F:\PROGRAMS\BOOK.INI
F:\DATA\PAGE99.RSC
Detection works on book.ini, so ScummVM assumed that the files sit in F:\PROGRAMS, and then it was unable to open DATA directory.
The proper setup is to copy the CD contents, so that DATA directory is within PROGAMS directory.
Current code works well with ../ paths, as it is handled by normalizePath() called from backends/fs/posix/posix-fs.cpp.

I guess from the bug report that F: is the cd-rom drive, and the user is trying to run the game straight from the CD. Which should work ... but obviously doesn't.

Ha! I was lazy for checking the original media. Indeed you are right. I just fixed it properly. Thanks for pointing!
I think I must be stupid. Anyway, this is in the latest git. Anything else I forgot, yell at me.
