similar to: "Failed to open the service control manager" -- is it OK?

I'm using a fresh install of Fedora Core 5 with the RPM install of Wine 0.9.12. When I run winecfg, it says "wine: creating configuration directory '/home/vince/.wine'..." as I expect it to. Following that is many lines of "Font metrics" progress with a few "fixme:font" messages. Nothing seems too unusual. But, when it gets to "Font metrics:

In http://www.edsupport.cc/mguhlin/archives/2007/08/entry_3550.htm, Miguel Guhlin asked how to install MemoriesOnWeb and its recommended codecs under Wine, so here goes. All I did was translate his instructions to wine-ese. 1. Download xvid for windows from http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html, install it the obvious way: $ wine XviD-1.1.3-28062007.exe 2.

Hi all - I recently upgraded my openSuse10.2 distro. Before the upgrade winecfg, winetools, and wine in general "just worked". However since the upgrade - I keep getting this error message: bobby@linux:~> winecfg drmUnmap back failed! ERROR! mapping regions Segmentation fault Here is what happens when I try to run the wineprefixcreate:

I installed wine-0.9 from pkgsrc on NetBSD/i386 3.0. When I run winecfg, it never finishes, but it outputs: wine: creating configuration directory '/home/ben/.wine'...

The previous version of wine used winecfg. The one just updated 0.9.57 has no option or is it hidden?

So I still have no idea what I did but every time I try to launch a program under Wine I get an error like this. I basically uninstalled, and then reinstalled but now the error seems to even spread to winecfg. Do I do yet another reinstall of Ubuntu or is there some fix to this? Code: joe at rbjcorp-02911:~$ winecfg wine: creating configuration directory '/home/joe/.wine'... wine:

I installed wine version 0.9.24 and winetools on my computer (OpenSuse 10.2) but I can't get it to configure at all. I first tried winetools and it said that I didn't have a configuration so run with the command wt. So I typed wt and nothing happened. Heres where I think the main problem lies though. When I attempt to do winecfg I get a ton of errors. Here is the output:

When ~/.wine does not exist, or more specifically the system.reg does not yet exist, wineprefixcreate delivers the message "Failed to open the service control manager." I have tracked this down to the fact that HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services does not yet exist when the msiexec.exe is registered and hence OpenSCManager fails. What is the proper way to register this key. In

After installing wine, on starting wine, I get the following error. How to resolve this? err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"gdi32.dll": libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory err:module:import_dll Loading library gdi32.dll (which is needed by L"c:\\windows\\system\\user32.dll") failed (error c000007a).

I don't know the final answer BUT if you have something simmilar to a cyber-cafe LAN (I mean, users use all the computers, and maybe some users come back to login with the same name) then you have to install a printer only once in a computer, loging as the administrator and installing drivers. Then what users will have to do is JUST add the printer without installing. I know that it's
