When ~/.wine does not exist, or more specifically the system.reg does not yet exist, wineprefixcreate delivers the message "Failed to open the service control manager." I have tracked this down to the fact that HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services does not yet exist when the msiexec.exe is registered and hence OpenSCManager fails. What is the proper way to register this key. In

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 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,

Winetricks is not a part of Wine, but it is supported here as it's an official side project and its creator is on the forums/mailing list. Winetricks is available from the Wine Wiki (see links at top of page) ( http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks ). Just run winetricks by itself and navigate the menus, or type winetricks ie6 in a terminal to install Internet Explorer.

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 everybody! About the email bellow, I just want to add one thing. I noticed that wineprefixcreate does not create some folder it used to. For instance it does not make Program Files anymore? Is this normal? It seems a change to me. One more thing: some programs work when I call them with wine-kthread, but never when I use wine-pthread. Again: any hints?

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'm trying to use WINE on openSuSE 10.2. I used it before on SuSE 10.0, do no remember what version was it, but I used WineTools to configure it (I actually need only IE). Now I'm trying version wine-0.9.27 SuSE RPM, from winehq site. I understood that winetools should not be used anymore (I actually tried it with wine-0.9.24 from openSuSE 10.2 without too much success). Now, the first
