... something is crazy somehow... & I dont know where to put this into... so I leave it here
maby WineHQ should correct some paths
Wine will install into: /home/YOUR_USER/.wine/drive_c/Programme(<-in german...)
PlayOnLinux will install into: /home/YOUR_USER/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/IE7*/drive_c/Programme/...
Winetricks will install into: /home/YOUR_USER/.cache/winetricks/ANY_PREFIX/drive_c/Programme/... ore into "the default wineprefix": /usr/share/.wine/ ANY_PREFIX/drive_c/Programme/...
- just for example EACH_PROGRAM_YOU_INSTALL_...INSTALL_A_/_IN
DIFFERENT_UNDERPREFIX choose a program to install and this program-setup will build a new wineprefix this means a new / another version of an windows you cant install all the programs you want by an manuel installation
- where you can choose the prefix you want
Thats a problem when you'll try to set up a nearly perfect "windows" for gaming... including all the wanderful .dll's
for example let PlayOnLinux install IE7 have made your "windows-setup"... your wineprefix called IE7... - putting all the dll's you want... you have... /home/YourUser/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/IE7/drive_c/Programme/InternetExplorer/ie7.exe restart PlayOnLinux install Guildwars from game list and you have... /home/YourUser/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/GuildWars/drive_c/Programme/GuildWars/Gw.exe
than use wine to have different paths & more prefixes
than use winetricks to have more different paths & more different prefixes
can somebody please fix this?
Hi devil77329, please stop spamming this bug, your comments are not helping at all.
Concerning the Witcher, there are probably more problems. This bug is about registration not working. Also I have an older Witcher version 1.0 vs yours 1.4 Enhanced Edition. If registration is not working for you, try winetricks wininet. If the registration is working, however the patch check for registration is failing, it is probably a bug 26538 or you may open a new bug but see below.
I noticed you are using PlayOnLinux. This is not supported here, try clean install or ask at PlayOnLinux forums. Also even with clean install bugzilla is _not_ for user support, try IRC (#winehq at freenode.net), AppDB, wine Forums or get Crossover for paid support. More links here: http://www.winehq.org/help/.
I also don't see why you would need .Net 4.0. I did The Witcher install on Windows XP + patching up to 1.5 to be sure the certificates works on Windows and only .Net 3.0 is needed. which can be obtained with winetricks.
BTW correct wineprefix is selected with env WINEPREFIX="/path/to/wineprefix"
