Hi all I install fedora 15 on my new computer. Before I was under ubuntu 11.04. I install wine from fedora 15 repository and before doing anything with wine I copy my .wine directory into my new home directory. All programs do not work correctly and I get the following error message : Code: wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe" Nevertheless I have wineboot : Code:> locate wineboot/home/lad/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/wineboot.exe /usr/bin/wineboot /usr/lib/wine/fakedlls/wineboot.exe /usr/lib64/wine/wineboot.exe.so /usr/lib64/wine/fakedlls/wineboot.exe /usr/share/applications/fedora-wine-wineboot.desktop /usr/share/man/man1/wineboot.1.gz Have I to do something else ? How can I fix that ?

Bear in mind that the filing system differs between Debian-based distros (such as Ubuntu) and RedHat distros, e.g. Fedora, and that this may mean that search paths copied from one to the other may not work correctly.

Have you tried if Wine works with a different prefix? Code: WINEPREFIX=~/.winetest winecfg If that launches, the old prefix you copied over from Ubuntu has somehow become corrupt. I went from Ubuntu to Fedora installs without any issues, so I wonder what went wrong.
I deleted my .wine, next I run winecfg in order to create .wine directory and then I just copy paste the program files directory from my old ubuntu .wine directory into the new fedora .wine directory. The error message wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe" deasapear. But warcraft 3 still not work. Without opengl it is too slow (very slow, unplayable) and there is a lot of line such as : err:d3d:loadVertexData >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_ENUM (0x500) from glVertexPointer(...) @ state.c / 4346 with -opengl option the speed seems to be good but all button are transparent. Thus I will reinstall it. What is the best procedure about wine when you change your computer ? Do you must install all program you had on your old computer ? Thanks for your help
