Wine problem

Recommended Posts

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.

My WINE version is the older version. winecfg only works with the latest version.
