There are some apps that I want to install with Wine but it involves changing the "Windows-version" that Wine is imitating. I have no idea how to do this. I've read that it involves editing /home/username/.wine/config file but there's no such file in my .wine directory. Someone pls help.

I just installed Wine in Mandrake 2005 and found the same thing. I wonder if the config file has been replaced.

Is this a source installation of wine that you have or a binary installation...say an rpm in Mandrake or Fedora? What version of Wine?

Do you have other files in that directory...like system.reg and user.reg/userdef.reg files?

What are you trying to install and what directions are you using?

rpm -ql wine | grep config

This command helped me find my wine config file. Apparently it was here: /etc/wine/config

What is the wine version? To find out just open a terminal and type wine

If it is really recent there is no config file at all, instead make changes in the winecfg program.
