similar to: Changing the location of Wine's My Documents?

I have been trying to add a launcher to the gnome menu for some of my wine games, but I have found that when I add them to the menu the games complain about missing files, I assume because it is looking for the rest of the game files in the directory that the launcher is in. This doesn't happen when I run the same command within the games directory they work fine. I used to have this problem

Is it possible to run two versions of wine on the same machine? As the latest development version (1.1.22) runs Sam & Max Season One and Myst Masterpiece Edition perfectly but doesn't run realMYST. But the stable version of wine that comes with Ubuntu 9.04 (1.0.1) can run realMYST and Myst Masterpiece Edition perfectly but won't run Sam & Max Season One. I was hoping there was a

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

Hello, I've got the following problem: I'm playing myst 3 Exile in wine-1.1.2 on ubuntu 8.04 with winecfg set to emulate virtual desktop and with directX mouse grab disable (from the wineconfig graphic interface) This last point does not seems to work because when I play myst, once the mouse has entered the wine window, I then can not leave anymore : the cursor won't get out of the

In the (excellent) Wine apps database, at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=143, the instructions say to create a registry key, HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/AppDefaults/Myst.exe, and under it, to > create a new String Value and set it to ... "win95" ... > However, it doesn't say what name to give the key. I created one, and called it

Hello I managed to install a version of wine in ubuntu using: sudo apt-get install wine which gave me version 1.2.2 This version has been working pretty good with World of Warcraft but according to the AppDB version 1.3.6 is much better ('platinum') for Counter-strike: Source. So I d/led the source and installed it in /home/myname/.wine-1.3.6 but i'm not sure i understand PREFIX i

I am using Ubuntu Dapper. I'm trying to set up wine. I'm reading all these guides and they say to run winecfg in the Terminal and then click on this or that tab. Now, when I run winecfg in the terminal, this is the output: wine: creating configuration directory '/home/daniel/.wine'... (daniel is my username) It doesn't go back so that you can type in a new command but I can

After the update even Wine's notepad and Wine's configuration do not start. In Wine 1.1.11 all work well.

Hi, I'm attempting to bring up Myst but running into some issues that are presumably graphics related. I had thought that I'd read the manual before I started asking questions here but found that the Wine Configuration File page is inconveniently missing the [x11drv] section. Is there anything written but happens to be elsewhere that I might read? The question I'm trying to

Folks I have a macro that fails in Word, are there any work-arounds, alternate dlls etc that can be suggested to get it going? Is there any forum dedicated to getting these going? I've installed MSOffice like so: cd "/media/Office 2003 Pro/OFFICE";\ # Set your preferences WINEPREFIX=~/.MSOffice winecfg;\ # Click through the dialogues WINEPREFIX=~/.MSOffice winetricks wsh56 vb3run

"worked" (except mostly font glitches & help) on Wine 1.2.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS since I installed it ~6 months ago. I used it daily, until 4 days ago, about the time I installed QGIS.

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

After using Wine without any significant hitches for over a year, I've just come across one. Every time I load any application (even winecfg), it takes between thirty seconds to one minute for it to load. During this time, normal functions take forever or don't work at all (selecting folders, opening a file, etc.). Sometimes it will load and work just fine, but often the program continues

Dear Wine users, installing a Windows program the program?s installer should look up some registry entry(?) (ProgramFiles [2]) what folder to use to install the program files into. For Englisch installations this is normally `C: \Program Files` in my home directory. I have small space left in my home directory, so I would like to install the program files in a different location, for example

I'm trying to run Myst (masterpiece edition). By upgrading Wine to .51, I've gotten the install to finish without complaint. When I attempt to run Myst, the following is written to the terminal: $ wine Myst.exe fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on MPU-401 UART, disabling mixer wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00150000 at address 0xb7d75cbc (thread 0009),

Moin, I can define the load order for specific applications using winecfg. But what is the propper way to copy these DLLs from a 'real' windows box? Just owerwrite the wine-ddl in windows/system32/ ? But isn't this the 'build in' DLL, that should be used for applications with load order 'Build in'? Sorry I am confused. -- |Michael Renner E-mail:

Hi there! Im sorry if this has been posted but I havent found any and I have searched. Ok I have a problem with the winecfg.

Is there a special place for the programs that actually come with Wine (winefile, winecfg, Wine's notepad, Wine IE, etc.) like the AppDB, but just for them? Because I was wondering, say for example, someone found a bug in winefile. Where would the corresponding AppDB[oid] page be for winefile to attach that bug to? It would be nice to go to a page and see all the known bugs for such a
