I have a Debian testing box with a 2.4.26 kernel. I used apt-get to
install wine, wine-doc and winesetup. Setup detected all the drives and
paths on my system but when I tried to run a program with the command
wine g:\\bridge\\mike (Mike Lawrence's Counting at Bridge -
a very elementary program, might even work with DOS)
I get the messages
Warning: The specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not
accessible.
Warning: The specified Windows diriectory L"C:\\Windows\\System"
is
not accessible.
The problem could be that I had a problems with my copy of win98 and
added win2000 both on hda1. Al l my Debian files are on hdb and I boot
the system with Lilo to have the option of starting any of these
operating systems. If I boot to Windows I am given the option of
starting win98 or win2000 and I always start win2000.
Working from Linux, if I mount c: the directories include windows and
winnt and each contains a subdirectory system.
Using vi I edited ~/.wine/config to the windows directories and paths to
winnt. This did not help.
Wine-doc mentions checking the configuration with winecfg but this does
not exist and apt-cache search winecfg cannot find it.
The Troubleshooting section suggest the setting the version so I added
[Version]
"Windows"="win2k"
to the config file. This did not help.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I might try next.

Instead use my Debian Wine packages at winehq.org - we have our own apt repository there. There's also a winetools package there you can download. Winetools will setup your configuration beautifully, as well as help you install software you might need like DCOM. Thanks, Scott Ritchie
Any suggestions to fix the following?
After upgrading from Suse 9.1 to 9.2. I get the messages
Warning: The specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows" is not
accessible.
Warning: The specified Windows directory L"C:\\Windows\\System" is
not accessible.
It does this on two programs that worked correctly with Suse 9.1, but fail
after the upgrade.
After the upgrade, the Linux startup had a warning with each windows partition
mount:
utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT ...
Based on a www search I changed the charset to cp850, which eliminated the
warning, but it did not change the wine startup problem. My understanding is
that the IO charset involves translation of the file names, which could be a
source of the wine startup problem.
