Hi, I am trying to run a game (Touhou 7) on a mac using wine. I installed wine using macports and used the command $ wine $th07e.exe to run my installer it then gives me this message: wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\.exe" I read elsewhere that i should type winecfg and create a fake c drive. But when I look in my drives menu, there is already one labeled c. Why can't it use this? I might be missing information, if I am, I will provide it.

Specifically it means that the following part is a variable name. To get around this single quote the filename. wine '$th07e.exe' John
Okay, I quoted the command and it told me the same thing, wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\$th07e.exe" One thing I remember that might mean something is that the first time I tried to run the game, a small cream colored window with a wine glass and said that it was updating or configuring -- I can't remember. But then it said it could not locate system32 (same as now) and quit.
The file is th07e.exe. It is in its folder on my desktop, so are you saying that I should find the wine folder and put it there instead? Hmm I must have misread that last error message, it actually said something different from before >_<
