similar to: Why is wineprefixcreate deprecated?

I've decided to try out some games with wine 1.1.4 to see if there is improvements (mainly with Bioshock) and, as always, I first created a prefix for those tests. My first surprise was this message : Code: Note: wineprefixcreate is deprecated and shouldn't be needed anymore. WINEPREFIX creation and updates now happen automatically when needed. So I said : "it's

By default Wine installs its fake-windows part into $HOME. I want rather have it on a separate partition, that I mount as /wine. How can I do this? What I have found was: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Advanced_Wine_User_Information#Changing_the_location_of_Wine.27s_installation My steps so far: - Installed Wine with Synaptic - # wineprefixcreate --prefix /wine - I find the fake directory

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 seen posts regarding WINEPREFIX so that Windows programs can be installed elsewhere than in the default .wine/drive_c/... folder. I have 2 or 3 Windows programs in the default folders which I run under Wine, and another program (Serif PagePlus 11) also in the default folder that does not run and I want to uninstall. Wine uninstall does not work for this program. I gather I can uninstall by

hi, I want to share my odysse from yesterday until now with someone who might help me.

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

Whenever I run any application with wine it takes upwards of five minutes to start, even apps included with wine like wine cmd. I have been googling this for hours and cannot find anything really applicable to my situation. I am running Fedora 14 x86_64. I don't have a network printer.

Hello, Using winecfg, I changed the Font settings in Desktop Integration. It works and shows up in wine applications. When I search the registry using regedit or by searching the .reg files at the root of the wine prefix, the custom Font settings don't appear. I guess it isn't stored in the registry, or is it? If not, where is it stored? Thanks for any info. :) Bamm

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.
