Hello. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I cannot get Wine to run anything under the Program Files folder. It gives me the error message that it cannot find C:\Program (it's as if the space between Program and Files stops it). I have tried eliminating the space in both the folder name and in the command line. Nothing works. GRRRRRR I am trying to install Final Fantasy XI using Ubuntu 8.10 and Wine 1.1.13 (updated to this this morning, before updating it wouldn't install at all) Also, I am following the step by step HOW TO that I found here. Thanks for any and all help.
yesterday i had the same problem i believe it is if you use different prefixes.

Use Tab completing to (easily) properly handle spaces. Read http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-3b297df7a5411abe2b8d37fead01a2b8edc21619 for background 2.

use the right prefix, or better just one
