wineprefixcreate does not create a working registry. The system had a working set of .wine .reg files however installs of office2k failed. I then saved .wine and rebuilt it with wineprefixcreate. After this the original applications did not work. Is wineprefixcreate supposed to succeed at this? Thanks - Dan

I have Wine wine-1.2.2 installed on mint 10 (extension of ubuntu 10~). I'm attempting to install ies4linux. I get the following error message """ our wine does not have wineprefixcreate installed. Maybe you are running an old Wine version. Try to update it to the latest version. """ I do believe that this is the latest version. But I cannot locate

wineprefixcreate failed to complete. I saw error messages about GLX. Here's the unique situation. It was running within a vncserver environment. The NVidia driver is running on the desktop. wine 0.9.15 on Mandriva 2006.0 wineprefixcreate works if it is not running within the vncserver but rather on the regular nvidia X session. By the way I got the GoogleEarth beta to run on the Nvidia

I understand that it is applied automatically when needed, but there are times when one would want to run it manually. An example is when I want to literally create a new wine prefix such as env WINEPREFIX="/home/bamm/apps/myprog" wineprefixcreate to prepare a clean profile for future installation of myprog. I know that running setup with a WINEPREFIX would create the clean profile,

I'm not qualified to interpret the following messages I get when I do a wineprefixcreate from the console after an upgrade: preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range

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

Hi everybody! About the email bellow, I just want to add one thing. I noticed that wineprefixcreate does not create some folder it used to. For instance it does not make Program Files anymore? Is this normal? It seems a change to me. One more thing: some programs work when I call them with wine-kthread, but never when I use wine-pthread. Again: any hints?

Hello everyone: I'm running Mandriva 2006 on a 64-bit dual-core machine with 1 Gb of RAM and 800 Gb of storage. Yesterday I downloaded the package "wine-0.9.17-mdk.i586.rpm" from www.winehq.com, saved it to disk, and then installed it. I got no error messages, but I can't run the winecfg program. Here's what I get: [leo@localhost Documents]$ wine Usage: wine PROGRAM

Hello, after a fresh install, wine 0.9.10 wont start while giving the following errors: flo@HAL2000 ~ $ wine can't create key_t for shm: No such file or directory wineserver: chdir /home/flo/.wine : No such file or directory winecfg also wont start: flo@HAL2000 ~ $ winecfg wine: creating configuration directory '/home/flo/.wine'...

This is the error I receive when using winecfg or wine commands. wine: creating configuration directory '/root/.wine' ... wine: Unhandles page fault on write access to 0x003ffd80 at address 0x609483af ( thread 000b), starting debugger... err:seh:raise_exception Unhandles exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x6000b3a3 wine: wineprefixcreate failed while creating '/root/.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:

Hi all Anything special I need to do upgrading from 0.9.8 to 0.9.12? I run a few important Win apps and a recent change lost such things as virtual windows (black boxes) and all the text was super small greeked or non existent. Going back to 0.9.8 showed no permanent damage. Winecfg was impossible to read/use. Do I need to run wineprefixcreate? Didnt see anything in the winehq FAQ about

I'm having problems running a windows program (nulldc 1.0.3 but that's not important) under the latest version of wine, which is up and running (in 32 bit) on my 64-bit install of Fedora 14. I'm trying to compile a version of wine 1.1.32 under a separate prefix. I'm doing this in a way that has worked for me in the past under a 32-bit environment. As I say, I've compiled the

Winetricks is not a part of Wine, but it is supported here as it's an official side project and its creator is on the forums/mailing list. Winetricks is available from the Wine Wiki (see links at top of page) ( http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks ). Just run winetricks by itself and navigate the menus, or type winetricks ie6 in a terminal to install Internet Explorer.
