Hello, I?m very new here, and did a quick search but couldn?t find this problem. Can someone help? When I try to install my first program I get the message in the terminal wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\.98.exe" Of course it can?t find the C directory; I don?t have one. This seems like an obvious first problem but I don?t know how to solve it. Help? Thank you!!
In your home directory, you should have a directory '.wine' (hidden directory, type "ls ~/.wine" to view contents). Inside this directoy you should find a directory 'drive_c', which represents your windows C drive, and a directory dosdevices with at least a link from 'c:' to '../drive_c' and probably also a link from 'z:' to '/'. I don't know what is wrong with your setup, but perhaps this helps in debugging it.

what were you typing to try to run your program when you got that error? if your running something like "wine MyProgram.exe" make sure you cd into the folder actually containing that .exe first, or it cannot find it.
