Where or how does Wine use the "documents and settings" folder? Is that configurable in Wine? I think Winamp can't see that folder. That's causing the Media Library not to display. The media library location is not configurable in Winamp..
The locations are configurable in Windows, good applications use shell functions to locate places like that for this reason, eg GetUserProfileDirectory and the more general SHGetFolderPath. You should look at the output of some debug channels to find out if it really can't locate this path, instead of guessing.
Ok, here's where Winamp installs the media library when I run the installer. It winds up in Home/Documents/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/[user name]/Application Data/Winamp.
It will actually play the demo mp3 right after installation so it seems to be hitting it sort of. However; the media library still doesn't show. So which Windows operating system does it think its running under? I have Wine set to Windows 7. That folder layout looks like maybe Windows 98 or something..
