Hello everybody, i got a question. Could it be possible to use an existing real windows 7 installation (on a separate partition) as a wineprefix and run programs from it?

First I would like to say how proud of and thankful to all the people who help out with wine. Its a great project and a lifesaver for everyone trying to get away from being tied to windows. With that being said ... (i just got photoshop 7 working yesterday so i'm still pretty elated) Ok. I am dual booting and have a win2k installation on another partition mounted at /mnt/win. It is ntfs so

I am trying to install Microchip's MPLab package (a set of tools for working with PIC microcontrollers) with the latest Wine from CVS (at least, latest as of yesterday morning). I've been running Wine for a while, so I already have an existing Wine registry. I don't have a Windows install on the machine. The installer (InstallShield) unpacks, runs, and then pops up a dialog

Doh123, how is running a program off an NTFS partition asking for trouble? Ntfsprogs seems to handle it just fine. I know that NTFS doesn't let you mark a file as executable, and that the filesystem is susceptible to fragmentation, but you should just be able to tell it to run rather than display and be good. It shouldn't cause destruction. I think there might even be an NTFS defrag tool

After a succession of failed attempts spread over a few years, I have finally got a Linux installation that does nearly everything I need it to. I've also got Wine working on at least a few things. However there are occasions when I want to dip back into Windoze, and so I've got a dual boot system, which is OK, but it could be a heck of a lot better. The relevant points are: WINE runs on

Hi! I am asking it here :) My sister bought this game: Sims: Animal histories The installer works partially, when accepting a license, the installer says: 'Impossible to continue installation because this game derquier DirectX9.0c or higher. You can download it on M$..." What can I do? Can you bypass the check? Maybe with adding dlls (native)? I also tried to installa DirectX

I'm very confused as usual. I have an NTFS/Linux dual boot. I usually run from kde. If I understand correctly, wine, when it runs a program will 1. see it ask for a function in a dll 2. check up in the config file for that dll and note if native or built-in or nothing has been noted. 3. from there, it will either use built-in, or native file in the order written. So, if I install and app,

Hi all Having problems with dual core in wine. It seems that every application I use through wine only uses 1 core. Any thorghts on how I can implement the wine apps to use both cores?? Native Linix apps use both cores generally. The DXDiag in wine also shows the 2 cores Apps Im trying Red Alert 3 HL2 + DM X3 I know these use both cores in windows I do also use wow in wine but I know theres is

I have heard that there are some .dll files in wine that are faster than the ones in windows, i have a dual booting vista and ubuntu system, and i have a server that i'm looking to turn into a gaming pc, but i'm not going to buy another copy of windows, so i have installed ubuntu onto it, and am going to import the .dll files from windows, each and every one of them, but since there are

Hello, I am new on this list. I have installed Wine successfully on my Mandrake but i think i couldnot configuire is smoothly. Whatever i can run simple programs like WinZip and mIRC with it but complex programs like Macromedia Flash and Photoshop CS is not running. It says that required files were not found in the Adobe Hpotoshop CS folder. Re-install photoshop to restore these files. Flash also

Hi all, i'm a new user of wine and i have some doubts. First i'm using wine with gentoo. I read in the wine web some info about the config file that wine uses, but in the gentoo ebuild no sample file is installed, or i haven't found it. Even more it seems that the winecfg application is used to configure wine, but it seems to not be finished and uses the registry files in ~/.wine to

I have a Toshiba laptop that came with Windows XP and OneNote installed. I then installed Ubuntu Dapper Drake and am dual-booting the system. I want to run OneNote on Ubuntu with WINE. Obviously I could set up WINE to use the dual-booting native DLLs (but I don't know how to do that), and I can't install OneNote directly on Ubuntu with WINE because while I have a legal copy of the full

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:

I'm planning my first Linux/Wine install. Is there any advantage to having a Windows (say W2K) partition to install Win apps to, when the plan is to run them under Wine/Linux? I do have a licensed copy of W2K, so I could do that if it were an advantage (e.g., is it easier to install difficult or unruly win apps under windows first?). Any other suggestions (I'm planning out my partition

I have just been told that I can copy the installed WoW tree from Win XP to Wine (same machine, dual boot) because WoW doesnt use the registry. Granted, that would save a lot of time, BUT, is it true? Thanks, Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

First of all, I'm using wine source code tar file version 20020804. I ran wineinstall to compile and install wine on a Linux-only machine (Mandrake 8.2). It creates the windows directory alright but the system and system32 directories don't have any dll's or registry information in them. Doesn't the install process setup a fake registry? Do I have to copy one from a

Hello everybody. I'm a (quite) happy WINE user, but i would like to propose some things to the WINE developers. Something important imo, is that it must be easy to use for the user, and some things could be better, here are some ideas to improve it by using Winecfg: 1. Add an option to disable/enable/edit debug channels for all programs. As you may know, a lot of programs runs faster

Hi Folks, I have been using Wine for some time now to run Team Fortress 2 (and other HL2 based games) on my Ubuntu system. I was previously running Ubuntu 7.10 with an Athlon64 3800+, a 7600GT (256MB of RAM), and 2GB of DDR2 333MHz. Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (i386) with an AthlonX2 64 6000+, an 8800GT (1GB of RAM) and 4GB of DDR 800MHz. I was really hoping for a nice performance bump
