similar to: Create a New .wine Directory

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 Single Sign On at my home network - my linux home directories are mounted from my Win2k fileserver. I try to run winecfg and get the below error, obviously because CIFS and NTFS doesn't support symlinks. How do I get wine to run from somewhere else?

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

Hi, I need to debug some complex Javascript that leaks in MSIE (no leaks in Firefox though). For this purpose, I am trying to utilize programs like Drip and sIEve. Both programs fail under Wine, and my guess is, they try to use Gecko as the rendering engine (and this is not what's desired: Gecko works fine with my stuff). Now, provided that MSIE can be installed under Wine, and works, can

I'm using a fresh install of Fedora Core 5 with the RPM install of Wine 0.9.12. When I run winecfg, it says "wine: creating configuration directory '/home/vince/.wine'..." as I expect it to. Following that is many lines of "Font metrics" progress with a few "fixme:font" messages. Nothing seems too unusual. But, when it gets to "Font metrics:

Well, my OS is Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, so you can keep track. I used Wine to be able to use Photoshop CS2, but there was a little setback. I reinstalled Wine and Photoshop several times and now even though I install it, it just wont work, nor open any .exe files. Also I don't know why I removed the Wine menu (Applications>Wine) from the tab and no matter what I do, it's not comming

The previous version of wine used winecfg. The one just updated 0.9.57 has no option or is it hidden?

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.

I just updated to version 0.9.59 and decided that it was time to do a proper retest of one of my apps (DVD Profiler (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1975)). I was quite chuffed when I ran the install and some of the bugs seemed to have been squashed, but I was suffering from the recent task bar issue (bug 12362 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12362)) so

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

Greetings all. I have been running Wine under Kubuntu Feisty for about the last four months, keeping it updated with the latest wine releases on a weekly basis, I use it to run WordPerfect. Whilst WordPerfect didn't run flawlessly, I got it to work well enough to edit and save documents I work on at home. In four months none of the updates to Wine changed anything in how WordPerfect

Hello everybody. I am not new to linux but new to wine. I run Fedora Core 4.

I recently had to remove wine after it became cluttered with software that would not uninstall fully (no matter what I did) and series of other issues. When I removed wine ("yum remove wine") I decided to wait for my repositories to get the .58 update. In the meantime I backed up what I wanted and deleted the .wine folder and menu entries in gnome by hand. Today I installed wine again

Hello everyone: I'm running Mandriva 2006 on a 64-bit dual-core machine with 1 Gb of RAM and 800 Gb of storage.
