similar to: Cannot use PREFIX with wine 1.1.4

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,

Hi! I have difficulties using WineTools 2.1.0 with WINEPREFIX set. It does not matter whether use wineprefixcreate or not.

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 everyone, In my environment, we heavily rely on Hiera to parametrize our modules. Like the Puppet code, I would like to version-control the Hiera .yaml files. However committing passwords in plain text to GitHub seems really odd. So I would like to make you aware of one of my side-projects called Raziel. https://github.com/jbraeuer/raziel/ http://bit.ly/raziel-slides While there is one

I first installed kchmviewer. I then created the file run_prog: #!/bin/sh $1 "`wine winepath -u "$2"`" I tested by running from a terminal run_prog kchmviewer c:\MyChmFile.chm This worked fine I edited the registry entry for chm.file to /usr/bin/run_prog kchmviewer %1 > > Note: > While researching regedit I noticed the reference to wineprefixcreate at: >

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

Hi, I've installed Wine version 20041201 on RedHat 9 and Winetools 210-jo, but when I try to execute Winetools (by typing wt2 on shell (as a user, not root), I just get all the error messages below.

Does anyone have any idea what is causing wineprefixcreate to fail with these messages? output from running wineprefixcreate: wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x003ffd80 at address 0x60a3d103 (thread 0009), starting debugger... wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x003ffd80 at address 0x60a3d103 (thread 000b), starting debugger... err:seh:raise_exception

Hello Wine users, I've installed Wine 0.9.32 into an NFS-mounted dir on a RHEL 3 machine and it seems to work fine - I've even modified the /nfs_path/wine/bin/wineprefixcreate, so that an additional dir (c:/Perl) is created under ~/.wine for each user (by mere linking to /nfs_path/Perl) My problem is that currently each user of my Wine-installation has to run "wine regedit"

However, if I close winemine and run the same command again wine explorer /desktop=default,1200x900 winemine I get the correct

env WINEPREFIX="/home/linux/.wineinstance1" wine env WINEPREFIX="/home/linux/.wineinstance2" wine env WINEPREFIX="/home/linux/.wineinstance3" wine How do I ensure that instance3 is not running? Turn it off and on? i.e. install risky software on trial - but then turn off the instance until next time it is needed for testing? i.e conserve resources by stopping the OS

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

Hello, I've got Bioshock installed and running it from the automagically created application launcher shortcut (using KDE4) works great! Yay!

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:
