similar to: Windows program installation with Wine

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'?

winetricks-20110311b is now released. 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

hi there. I hope this is the right place for asking this. After reading through the information about WINEPREFIX in the FAQ and the User Manual, I've still got some questions left: I (hypotetically) want to create a new clean wine-environment, install the winetricks d3dx9 package into it, and then run three applications in it. Would the following commands be the right way to do it? Code:

I am trying to install dotnet20 with winetricks. For previous requirements I have installed vbrun60, vcrun6, allfonts, divx, allcodecs, ogg, quicktime72 and msi2. Now with dotnet20, the windows installer gives me only repair and uninstall options, and if I try repair, it asks for MSI 3.0 installer (an offered install link does not work). Have I triggered an install of dotnet from one of 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

hi, sorry for the potentially stupid question. I'm a little stuck. when trying to run the stupid update manager i need for my satnav, which - obviously - is windows only, nothing happens. install worked, the icon's on my desktop, it has been made executable, but after a bit of harddrive action nothing happens. terminal says: Code: mzwo at mzwo-laptop:~$ env

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

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

hi. I'm trying to install a program using winetricks, but I'm using a separate wine install and WINEPREFIX, I run any command as such - WINEARCH="win32" WINE='/home/de/media_writeit!/FOSS/additional packages/Wine prefixes/Works with wine 1.3.32/wine-1.3.32' WINEPREFIX='/home/de/media_writeit!/temp(others)/walkthrough' ./winetricks And it returns -

So. I was having problems with WineTricks, and after fudging around with settings and whatnot, re-downloading it, trying to run it from the Terminal...I decided to uninstall both Wine and WineTricks. So I opened up the "Ubuntu Software Center", found both wine and winetricks and hit "remove". To my disappointment, it didn't actually remove it. (It seemed to

we often say here directx installation can break wine What about Dan kegel winetricks ? It is safe to install microsoft distribuable package or it may break wine ? What we can do, what we can't ? For exemple, when wine console tell us msvcr80.dll is missing, what is better or safer: - installing vcrun2005 via winetricks - copy the missing downloaded dll in system32 ? the both works for my

I am experiencing a problem with the installation of Metatrader4. The problem is that at the end of the installation I receive an error message: 'Error changing registry data'. The system then proceeds to carry out a roll back routine. I have previously managed to complete this on a Sony Laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) with Wine 1.1.42. Wine has since been updated to 1.1.43 and

Hi. I'm trying to make a windows environment to ensure most programs work.

Writers Blocks has issued a new version. Version 3 ran with winetricks v6run and mfc40 But it appears that Version 4 needs something else. I tried it with the above, I tried it with all the mono versions, but installed mono after I installed the program. wine: Install Mono for Windows to run .NET 2.0 applications. And ideas? There is a free trial version on the web site.

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

Can someone tell me why, despite using a completely clean tree, I keep getting this on a Wine64 build? Code: wine client error:0: version mismatch 432/431. Your wine binary was not upgraded correctly, or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH. Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running? It's getting on my bloody nerves! TIA

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'm trying to run a home design program, Grand Designs 3D Renovation & Interior, and I'm getting a segfault. This program does not have an AppDB entry. Any ideas, anyone?
