I installed from source with ./tools/wineinstall After executing an arbitrary file I got this message: 'Profile=<profiledirectory>' or disable loading of Windows registry (LoadWindowsRegistryFiles=N) Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "C:" = L"hd" Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "D:" = L"hd" Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "E:" = L"hd" Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "F:" = L"hd" Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "G:" = L"network" Converted temp dir to new entry HKCU\Environment "TEMP" = L"C:\\temp" Converted windows dir to new entry HKCU\Environment "windir" = L"C:\\WINDOWS" Converted system dir to new entry HKCU\Environment "winsysdir" = L"C: \\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM" Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/john/wine-20050211', starting in the Windows directory. Next I run 'freecell' like this: [john]: 10:48 AM [~/wine-20050211] $ wine C:\\windows\\system32\\freecell Here is a copy of the Konsole output: When you are running with a native NT directory specify 'Profile=<profiledirectory>' or disable loading of Windows registry (LoadWindowsRegistryFiles=N) Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/john/wine-20050211', starting in the Windows directory. fixme:win:User32InitializeImmEntryTable (0x19650412): stub fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership (0x58 0x403a3f98 0x406bfb28) stub! fixme:actctx:QueryActCtxW stub! fixme:actctx:QueryActCtxW stub! The program executed OK and freecell run properly. How can I get rid of the warning messages and what is their meaning? Thanks for any advice John
