I'm having a problem that I'm not sure the cause of. I've never had a problem with wineinstall until recently. I have full read/write access to my Windows partition and wineinstall can see it. However it fails to find the Windows registry for some reason. I'm running Windows Me, on that partition. For Linux I'm running Redhat 7, and latest CVS. Here's the messages I get. Created /root/.wine/config using your existing Windows installation. You probably want to review the file, though. Checking for real Windows registry...

As a result, wineinstall is unable to find anything on the Windows installation, including an existing registry. regapi should NOT be compiled and should NOT install default registry entries when a real Windows registry exist. Almost fortunate that the below error appeared...> Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory /home/drovar/wine; starting > irectory. > Invalid path 'C:windowsSYSTEM' for system directory: does not existMissing backslashes... apparently someone (seems to be Andreas Mohr) fixed wineconf incorrectly. He must have forgotten that the new config format requires two backslashes, and that perl itself eats every other backslash...
