Hello, I'm having a hard time trying to run apps with wine on others users on the same computer. I have install Wine with root user and running my app successfully, but when I created another user/s, it seems they don't recognize wine and can't running the app. it should be noted that I want the users will be able to run apps without writing commands on the terminal screen, but clicking it only (like in root user). Thank you.

Wine has to create an individual folder per user. This is because Wine runs as a user space application and not a system application. Dimensio already send you the link to the FAQ on how to make this happen. In the future, to protect your system, please do not run Wine as root. Thank you. James McKenzie
Hi, I read the link above, but I don't sure that I fully understand what written there. It said: "Note that it is possible to copy Wine prefixes; you can avoid having to run installers multiple times by installing everything to one prefix, then making a copy of it in each user's home directory." In present I installed my app with root to folder name: Programs. Is this Folder is the wine "Prefix"? Anyway, I copy this folder to the Home folder of my user and also had to change all the permission, and still it doesn't work and ask me to reinstall the program again... I'll be thankful for help.
