hi I try wine for the first time.. after entering "wine notepad" on the shell this message appears : Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\Windows\\System" is not accessible wine open notepad on kde but it is not possible to save ... (no access to windows directory) and the apps is freezing configuration problem ? I run Wine version 20040615 on SuSe 9 any help ? bea.gr
Hi bea.gr, I think the directory access permissions are not set correctly for your fake_windows directory. The user which runs wine should have write access to the fake_windows directory (maybe in your version the directory can be named drive_c). Try something like "chmod -R 700 /home/youruser/.wine/fake_windows" Stefan Am Mittwoch, 30.

With fake-windows it works. IMHO something is going wrong accessing a real dos drive under wine. It worked perfectly on my old SuSE 7.2 using recent wine realeases.

As far as I know there are at least two wrong configurations which cause a "Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not accessible" First, your fake-windows drive ("c:") is not set up correctly or the permissions on the fake-win directory are wrong. (By the way in newer WINE versions there are symlinks in .wine/dosdevices not in the drive sections in the wine config file) Second, the path two the windows system directory in wine config is wrong. I never experienced any other problems accessing a fake-win directory. If you post your drives section/dosdevices directory listing and the permissions on your win drive, maybe I can help you. cu, Stefan -- Dipl.-Inform.

Hi, I changed my wine (version 20040615) config file to test your problem with accessing a real win system drive and noticed that wine seems to ignore my setting in the [wine] section. I have w2k installed and the system dir is "winnt" when I change my wine config to point to winnt as win dir it complains still that c:\\windows ist not accessible even if there is a problem with accessing this drive the correct warning should be: c:\\winnt ist not accessible Am I right?

Stefan, could you please post your mails to the list, and not to me personally? The purpose of a mailing list is to get input from more than just one person (the "X # of heads is better than one" theory). Please subscribe to the list, if you have not done so, and then try replying to all recipients, rather than just the sender. This list is a bit unusual in that the From: field is not the list, but the individual posting to the list; only with "reply to all recipients" does the list become one of the recipients of your mail. I usually change the order of the To: and CC: fields as well, so that my response goes To: the list and if necessary cc: to the original poster, for neatness' sake. I also often remove the cc, because who needs duplicate emails (one from the list, and one from the sender personally)? I will forward your message to the list (via this reply), and answer there, after I've read it there. Holly To the List--- sorry for top posting; the real continuation of the thread is below. H.

First of all..
thanks for all the replies , I'm not alone in the dark...
then ..
It seems that it's not a problem of permission on the directory fake-windows
:
"chmod 700 /home/bea.gr/.wine/fake-windows" change absoluty nothing
and my wine config are correct (it seems to be)
The problem is in the symlinks in the directory .wine/dosdevices/
before the change I made, two symlinks were wrong and seems to go to nowhere
(as I tried in the shell and kde):
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bea.gr users 29 2004-06-19 07:33 c: -> ../
${HOME}/.wine/fake_windows
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bea.gr users 10 2004-06-19 07:33 y: -> ../${HOME}
then I recreated the links :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2004-07-02 23:31 c: -> /home/
bea.gr/.wine/fake_windows/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2004-07-02 23:34 y: -> /home/
bea.gr/
and it works now with no such that message anymore :
"Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not
accessible"....
I can launch "wine notepad" without problems
???? a reason for this ?
