similar to: Patched wine only for one prefix?

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 ?

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

When I use Winefile to open the .exe, the inifile is read correctly. When I use it in a .desktop file with the order below, it does not work. Code: env WINEPREFIX "/opt/WPrefix" wine "C:\Program Files\Test\test.exe"

An exe file that I want to run on linux made for windows comes up as a Trojan on VirusTotal - how would I run it without it affecting my system? Is there any way that I can run this program on my Linux system without possibly getting a virus?

I'm a new user of Ubuntu 9.04 and have installed Wine 1.1.28. Have not been able to get Trackmania Nations Forever 2.11.11 to start despite the AppDB indicating it should be fine.

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

I'm trying get a couple pieces of software we use at work so we can replace a bunch of aging Windows machines with Linux boxes, but I'm having a little trouble. I'll start with the potentially easiest problem first. One of the programs I'm trying to use is Lightspeed Virtual Terminal. It runs fairly well with just a couple of glitches. If I go to the directory it was installed

Hi, i want to reorg my directories and move (and rename) some .wine folder to /opt. After moving and renaming the .wine folder some applications don't start again.

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'?

I really don't know how to google this or forum search this question as I have been trying to find the answer for an hour or so. I apologize if it's somewhere on the board spammed a lot but: How do I switch between different running wine apps. Pretty much, how do I use an emulated version of Alt+Tab in Wine? I don't know the hotkey, thanks!
