similar to: Using a real windows installation as a wineprefix

I wanted to ask to the wine experts something about WINEPREFIX or the crossover bottles... how does the concept of "bottles" compares/differs with the concept of application virtualization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_Virtualization) used by VMware's Thinstall (http://www.thinstall.com/products/virtualization_suite.php) (aside for the .exe container*) and

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 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:

Hi, there I recently purchased a copy of bordeaux in order to try the dib engine (and pulse) in wine1.2 I would like to use this in already installed bottles. So I tried something like this: code: [export WINEDIB=ON] then (as an example) code:[/opt/bordeaux/bin/wine | env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-test wine winecfg] This does create a wine bottle, but in this way the dib engine doesn't get loaded

Hi All, I am getting: > wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe" > err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 2 And am being told to: > Use a _clean_ WINEPREFIX for installation. And, also being told to ask you guys what the above means. Many thanks, -T

After 6 month working with wine i would say i have some experience, but i still dont understand what happens when you update wine with the prefixes. I mean, what happens with the dlls and the other stuff in Code: ~/WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows ?

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

I have a dilemma. When freshly installing game (i usually used wineprefixcreate, but now I just use WINEPREFIX when installing) I want certain settings to be used when starting wine. Now I have to click-click through my winecfg to make them right every time I install new game or software. Most notable edits are Sound, Drives and Desktop integration (where the personal folders are configured).

Hi, I'm still a bit new to Linux and Wine, so please bear with me if this is a stupid question. I've been putting all my windows applications in their own wineprefixes, and now I thought I'd put some of them in my data partition, because there's always lots of free space there and many of my games take a lot of space. But when I try to create a new wineprefix on my data

I'm trying to run different win32 apps with different configs. i was looking thru the man page and found the WINEPREFIX. i added export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine.icad to my script that i use to launch my application. It seems to find it, but now i'm getting: $ icad wineserver: mkdir /.wine.icad/wineserver-atlanta.ga : No such file or directory ok, i obviously did not understand something.

How do I run games with WINEPREFIX? I've looked up the site and done the whole WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-game and installed it but after that how do I run the game? when I run it it says wine cannot find the file.

Hi! I have difficulties using WineTools 2.1.0 with WINEPREFIX set. It does not matter whether use wineprefixcreate or not. I want to start a new wine-Konfiguration from scratch: export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine wineprefixcreate (or not) wt > /tmp/Fehlermeldungen.wt 2>&1 When I try "Create a fake windows drive", WineTools doesn't create one although it said it did! I have

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,

I have been told that the way to utilize the somewhat strange way my Ubuntu is set up is to use the WINEPREFIX. I have some windoze programs that need to know about each other so they need to be in the same drive_c Here are pertinent specifics of my system: > > root at kayve-laptop:/media/2c512d2e-fcf5-4ef5-8200-e3c79a8a1aca/home/kayve# mount | grep ext4 > /dev/sda6 on / type ext4

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:

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.

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