similar to: Softlinking to a dvd-drive with inconsistent mount points? => HAL-Support

In Suse 9.2, it was easy to softlink to a drive from /home/username/.wine/dosdevices because the mount point for the drive was always the same. That is, /media/dvdrecorder was always where the disc would get mounted. NOW, with Suse 9.3, the mount point is /media/DISC_NAME. Since each disk has a different name, there is never a consistent mount point. So, I can't make Wine's

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

wineprefixcreate does not create a working registry. The system had a working set of .wine .reg files however installs of office2k failed. I then saved .wine and rebuilt it with wineprefixcreate. After this the original applications did not work. Is wineprefixcreate supposed to succeed at this? Thanks - Dan

I'm having problems running a windows program (nulldc 1.0.3 but that's not important) under the latest version of wine, which is up and running (in 32 bit) on my 64-bit install of Fedora 14. I'm trying to compile a version of wine 1.1.32 under a separate prefix. I'm doing this in a way that has worked for me in the past under a 32-bit environment. As I say, I've compiled the

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've decided to try out some games with wine 1.1.4 to see if there is improvements (mainly with Bioshock) and, as always, I first created a prefix for those tests. My first surprise was this message : Code: Note: wineprefixcreate is deprecated and shouldn't be needed anymore. WINEPREFIX creation and updates now happen automatically when needed. So I said : "it's

I have Wine wine-1.2.2 installed on mint 10 (extension of ubuntu 10~). I'm attempting to install ies4linux. I get the following error message """ our wine does not have wineprefixcreate installed.

wineprefixcreate failed to complete. I saw error messages about GLX. Here's the unique situation. It was running within a vncserver environment. The NVidia driver is running on the desktop. wine 0.9.15 on Mandriva 2006.0 wineprefixcreate works if it is not running within the vncserver but rather on the regular nvidia X session. By the way I got the GoogleEarth beta to run on the Nvidia

Hi all - I recently upgraded my openSuse10.2 distro. Before the upgrade winecfg, winetools, and wine in general "just worked".

Does anyone have any idea what is causing wineprefixcreate to fail with these messages? output from running wineprefixcreate: wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x003ffd80 at address 0x60a3d103 (thread 0009), starting debugger... wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x003ffd80 at address 0x60a3d103 (thread 000b), starting debugger... err:seh:raise_exception

Hello Wine users, I've installed Wine 0.9.32 into an NFS-mounted dir on a RHEL 3 machine and it seems to work fine - I've even modified the /nfs_path/wine/bin/wineprefixcreate, so that an additional dir (c:/Perl) is created under ~/.wine for each user (by mere linking to /nfs_path/Perl) My problem is that currently each user of my Wine-installation has to run "wine regedit"

So, I installed Wine 20050111 and Winetools 2.1 on my desktop which is a P4 HT 3.4ghz ICH6 chipset based box. Redhat seems to function just fine on it, and I'm running the latest stable SMP Kernel. My problem is included in the following test. When I launch WineTools, it starts complaining about not being able to create directories and the such, but I'm running this as root (I can hear

Hey all, I'm trying to run the HakInstaller for Neverwinter Nights (http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/other/data/1076838606000.shtml ). Unfortunately, it requires .NET 1.1 to run.
