--- Comment #6 from Juan Lang juan_lang@yahoo.com 2010-04-22 13:30:23 --- Hi Zac, please don't take Vitaliy's comments personally. We get a lot of bug reports here, and the usual questions are, 1. What version did you test? and 2., did you test the latest version? His response is the same response we usually give here. (And he really is helpful, even if a little brusque sometimes.)
With regard to the problems persisting even after reinstalling: well, one of two things is likely to happen, as far as I can see: 1. You're using a wineprefix which was somehow corrupted. Removing it should fix that, so since you say you've done that, it's not likely to be the issue. 2. You've installed some version of Wine system-wide, and are using it when you intend to be using something else. 'make uninstall' in whichever tree you used when you ran 'make install' should do the trick. If you've removed the source for the tree, no matter, just download the source for that tree again, and run make uninstall in it.
With regard to whether installing with one version and running with another is a problem, no, generally not. Though since there are two applications you're running, and they may run better on different versions of Wine, you may find it useful to install them in separate wineprefixes. You can create a shell script that sets WINEPREFIX appropriately for each one.
Hope that helps.
