I am trying to run autocadlt-2000 with wine. Running Redhat 7.2. Wine version wine-20030508. Dual booted with windows 98. I can run some of the windows games with wine. A little slow, but otherwise OK. When I start autocadlt, it all seems to come up - I have the pallette and all the icons, but all greyed out, then an alert comes up with "Access denied C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\UNDO.ac$" On retry, I get a message, "To access file in readonly directory, you must configure a temp file location other than DRAWING." Another click and it all terminates. Looks like acad is trying to make a file in c:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ which is owned by root and can't be changed. Can't change owner or permissions. My wine.conf has an entry for a temp file as follows: -----snip--------- [Drive G] "Path" = "/tmp" "Type" = "hd" "Filesystem" = "win95" -----snip-------- I have read the howot and searched the archives and tried google with negative results. Any help would be appreciated, bruce

This is a completely different thing. Notice that /tmp should be writable for you. Last note : wine.conf is deprecated and should be ignored since $HOME/.wine/config is the config file to take into account. ====Sylvain Petreolle (spetreolle_at_users_dot_sourceforge_dot_net) ICQ #170597259 Say NO to software patents Dites NON aux brevets logiciels "What if tomorrow the War could be over ?"

> Sylvain, > I had copied ~/.wine/config to /etc/wine.conf.Better use a symlink.> [Drive C] > "Path" = "/mnt/msdos" > "Type" = "hd" > "Filesystem" = "vfat"Make sure the wine user has write access to your vfat partition under /mnt/msdos/windows/temp.> The last thing I tried was changing the last line in [Wine], asbelow.> Still get "Can't access c:/WINDOWS/TEMP"You last problem is that the line "temp" must have a windows-like content, it is part of windows environment. If you want this to be /home/bruce/.wine/temp, you have to use the H: drive : "temp" = "H:\.wine\temp" Note: It could give you problems with brain-damaged programs since the "." is extension separator for windows. ====Sylvain Petreolle (spetreolle_at_users_dot_sourceforge_dot_net) ICQ #170597259 Say NO to software patents Dites NON aux brevets logiciels "What if tomorrow the War could be over ?"
