wine users - Mar 2011 - Wine does not allow program to see USB ID

I have a program called Messiah Studio. It licenses to your USB drive. Some
people over on their forum have gotten it working under Wine but they go thru so
many steps to do it that by the time they are done they are not sure which steps
did the trick. So far all we have diduced is that you need Wine 1.3 and you need
the drive mounted as low a level as possible.

Here is what I have so far.
____________________________________________________

I typed all these things into the terminal to make sure to erase the programs
and libraries in Wine

rm -rf $HOME/.wine

rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*

rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine

rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine*

rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/?Huh_*.{xpm,png}

rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/*-x-wine-*.{xpm,png}

Then I erased my Wine install which was a little difficult because you have to
uninstall by the same method you use to install it.

Then I had to install the newest one and I used this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3

which worked great.

I disabled automount:

open a terminal and type gconf-editor.

Browse to /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount change it to off.

I Installed thunar with the code:

sudo apt-get install thunar

Then I safely removed the USB and reinserted the USB but it did not mount so in
terminal I typed sudo thunar which brought up an explorer and I selected the USB
and it mounted as root.

So that's what I have so far. Still not working. Help me  [Exclamation]

Or maybe we deduced it  [Laughing] 

man no edit feature  [Embarassed]

It turns out that they are making a new installer that will fix this so thanks
for the help.

No problem.  Please advise if this problem still exists with the new installer.

Dear all,

The steps for me to get the license on an USB drive to work were:
1. Login into: https://www.projectmessiah.com/gen5/index.php
2. You should have a Linux/WINE license. If so, you will see:
    OS: Linux/WINE  Wineconfig Drive Serial Number 
3. Enter this serial number into the WINE configuration.
    a. In Wine configuration->Drives, I already made a drive mapping:
        D: /media/MESSIAH
    b. Select this mapping, then click on  Show Advanced
    c. Enter the number in the Serial entry

Now my question:
I am using WINE 1.2.2, and Messiah studio runs. However, Messiah studio seems to
crash quite regularly. Which version of WINE should I use?

Best regards,
Bert Schultheiss
