[Bug 5461] New: Fix Wine install
by Wine Bugs 18 Jun '06

18 Jun '06

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5461 Summary: Fix Wine install Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P4 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: chris.kcat(a)gmail.com Not sure whether to file this under critical/major or enhancement, so I went with the safer bet. There's a problem with the way Wine installs itself and creates a "default" Windows install. Basically, when you upgrade an existing Wine install that has a ~/.wine directory, any new, changed, or removed files that go into Drive C will not be carried over. This is because Wine only installs certain DLLs and EXEs when ~/.wine is created, but for upgrades, it's already there. I wouldn't doubt this is causing many obscure problems. The only way to remedy this is to delete your ~/.wine directory and have Wine create a new one. However, this comes at the nasty cost of wiping all your Wine settings, the registry, and most Windows program settings. A good number of Windows apps won't run if registry entries that were created at program installation aren't there, meaning they need to be reinstalled and reconfigured. Any and all DLLs previously installed and not provided by Wine need to be reinstalled as well. I'm not sure of the exact details to go about this, but a possible solution may be to put DLLs and EXEs into $PREFIX/lib/wine (instead of in the ~/.drive_c/windows/ heriarchy), map / to Z: by default (already done, AFAIK), and add Z:$PREFIX/lib/wine to the default Windows PATH setting. Though this might not work for programs that expect stuff in C:\windows. Another option may be to make use of /opt, which is for programs that rely on their own directory structure. /opt/wine and installed files could be given mode 775/664 and owned by root:wine (so "Administrator accounts" would be users in the 'wine' group, and "Limited acocunts" wouldn't be). The drive assignment symlinks would be somewhere in /opt/wine (eg. /opt/wine/dosdrives), and the default Drive C would be made with make install, instead of first run. As long as it only installs missing/newer files (and doesn't delete existing stuff), this would ensure new files are installed and modified files are updated, without having to behave as if you just reinstalled Windows. A third, less drastic, option may be to include a script that copies the proper files to the ~/.wine/dosdrives/c:/windows heriarchy. Something that could be run after make install, and wouldn't change any existing settings or delete existing files. The end of make install would alert the user that people upgrading should run the script to update wine user files (with a warning to *NOT* run it as root). In addition, you could make it so that when wine is run and detects the current version is different than the last run version, it invokes that script automatically before the Windows program is run (CVS users would still need the script though, since CVS updates don't always change the version number). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 5457] Windows Media Player installer fails: unable to detect available updates
by Wine Bugs 18 Jun '06

18 Jun '06

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5457 ------- Additional Comments From senatorkoppie(a)yahoo.com 2006-18-06 06:30 ------- You guys are kidding, right? I'm not asking you to "support ies4linux." In fact, your own instructions say I should use ies4linux to install IE before I even try to install WMP. Why am I trying to install WMP 9? Because I want to install Launchcast and WMP 9 is required. But I'm not sure why I have to justify this anyway. There's a whole section of your website already dedicated to getting WMP 9 to work, and now I'm getting unfriendly replies from people? Way to treat the newbie. Sheesh. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
