similar to: Nothing in program files folder??

Apologies for what is probably a silly question ! If one installs a Windows program in Linux with Wine which requires things like Winetricks to install some Windows stuff, is the whole installation within the .Wine folder ? I assume that when installing Windows programs (Including anything else that is necessary, eg. from Winetricks) then everything is indeed within .Wine with no changes at all

I read somewhere that in order for a program to work properly in Wine it should be installed in a clean enviroment, something along the lines of one software conflicting with anothers drivers/runtime/apps/etc. Is this true? Does this mean that I can only have one program installed with Wine at a time? Can one not create several 'fresh enviroments'?

I am trying to track down a crash in Steam (Steam itself, not a game through it). In following appdb instructions for Steam I realized that it was installed in /home/tparker/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steam.exe and not in :~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files> where I had expected it, although that second directory does have a SteamInstall.msi sitting in it but

This is my question. I want to install some mods to my games, but the program files folder in wine looks empty (only IE) Where are the game folders?? Thanks.

Hi there! I have a serious issue! I tried installing a game (PES 2010) and then, because it was not running, I decided to remove the application and upgrading to wine 1.1.33. So I did and then I restarted setup.exe, but now it brings me to the unistall prompt of the game, as if I had pes installed yet! To remove it, I oreviously used the "remove wine apps" tool, but after that the game

See bug 23374. Originally, this was an issue raised for one particular game. But my experiences with other games from the same company indicate that this may be a more widespread problem for their games. The original poster tried one of their "Strange Cases" games. I've tried a "Natalie Brooks" and an "Alabama Smith" adventure. Each keeps coming up with the

Huhu, I installed MS Freelancer via PlayOnLinux, but I have some graphics lags ingame/the game was redicoulus slow, I also wasn't really able to start a new game since the game hang up (kinda. It just didn't wanted to finish loading) One idea of me would be that it still runs in DX mode, how can I change it to OpenGL? On a side note, I have enough ressources to run the game at windows.

So after years of running a 'pure' Linux machine, I finally decided to install Wine so I could play some of my old games - and it's been a disaster. Using either Wine 1.5.3 or 1.3.3 trying to launch Half-Life Source results in nothing happening, trying to launch from the commandline gives this stack trace: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address

Changes since winetricks-20110123 (for anyone who has not been using the alpha versions): - manages multiple wineprefixes - apps are now installed into separate wineprefixes by default - gui now split into separate pages for games, benchmarks, apps, dlls, fonts - gui now shows approximate disk requirement and install times - gui now lets you pick silent

I have Civ4 BTS 3.17 installed and running on Ubuntu 8.10 using Wine 1.1.13. The game seems to be OK but I have been playing the Fall from Heaven 2 mod recently and the data for the Great Library used within the game is corrupted (sages being given ridiculously large espionage bonuses). The xml files on disk are fine and there is no problem when running the same mod on Windows. I am using the

Trying to get use to using wine and winetricks, how do you know what is currently installed and what needs to be installed, for instance if i had wine default to WinXP or Windows7 etc ? Or does it not matter if its already installed and you install again using winetricks ? What would people recommend for the default OS as mainly i wish to use Wine for windows gaming and what would i need to

Hello. This is my first post here, as until now I wasn't missing any Windows program. As at the moment I can spare some free time I wanted to do a brief come back to Ragnarok Online. The problem that I found is that the installer crashes every single time I start the game (image link) (http://ompldr.org/vNXpheg), and then it becomes irresponsible (image link) (http://ompldr.org/vNXpiOA).

Hi, i have a very crazy issue: Im connecting with a NX Client to a XFCE Desktop. There is Wine, some Fonts and the Gecko Engine installed. The Installation and Update of Steam was very good, but after the Update was finished, i only see a Ghost Window of Steam (even when i kill it and start it again): [Image: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/5858/xfcesteamghost.png ] I also tried a reinstall

Problem: Installed VisualC2005Express using winetricks, then wanted to try another version of VisualC2005 (without winetricks) but

So I tried to run Impulse on my Ubuntu 11.04 laptop and it installed fine (or at least seemed to). When I tried to run it I got the working cursor for a bit then nothing. I ran it in terminal and got a error message about running the Windows version of Mono so I went online and did a search for the error message and found a file called mono-2.4.2.3-gtksharp-2.12.9-win32-3.exe and ran it.

Hello everyone Wine is great. I've managed to (through PlayOnLinux) get Steam installed and I'm able to play a load of my games in the comfort of Ubuntu. Currently I have all my Half Life and Half Life 2 mods working for the most part. My issue is: Some games come with a browser or launcher that checks if the game is up to date. All of these launchers tend to contain some Java, Flash
