[Wine] How to install an application under WINE
Dear All I have managed to install WINE onto my Mandriva 2006 Linux computer. New entries appear in my menu. I have read much of the FAQ, How To, and Documentation but unless I have missed something I cannot find any section that deals with installing an application under WINE. Do I have to remain logged in a terminal as root, or do I use one of the new menu entries as a user? What do I do ? Any help appreciated Stephen

You can either do this directly or use winecfg, however I prefer to do this directly because winecfg does not setup the cdrom the way I want it (as drive z: with the device link as z::). Here is what I have in my dosdevices folder: ~/.wine/dosdevices $ pwd /home/john/.wine/dosdevices john@jmd1 ~/.wine/dosdevices $ ls -al total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 john users 168 Jul 29 22:46 . drwxr-xr-x 4 john users 192 Aug 1 23:22 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 10 Jun 20 00:30 c: -> ../drive_c lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 10 Jul 29 22:46 d: -> /home/john lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 1 Jun 20 00:30 e: -> / lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 8 Jul 24 23:55 z: -> /mnt/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 john users 8 Jul 24 23:55 z:: -> /dev/dvd After you have this setup correctly to install you usually first mount the cdrom mount /mnt/dvd then run wine z:setup or wine z:install to run the installer from the cd.
