------- Additional Comments From robert@paulsen.homeip.net 2006-05-02 11:45 ------- I am sure I am doing something fundamentally wrong but don't know what else to do. Running winecfg gives errors:
winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/robert/.wine'... ln: creating symbolic link `/home/robert/.wine-tdv10N/dosdevices/m:/usbdisk_5' to `/media/usbdisk_5': Permission denied wine: wineprefixcreate failed while creating '/home/robert/.wine'.
So I created .wine directory manually and tried again:
winecfg
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\windows\system32" is not accessible. Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/media/QW05PRMR1B', starting in the Windows directory. err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory 'L"c:\windows\profiles\robert\Desktop"'.
I tried adding drives in winecfg but get errorsd with that as well:
err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes unable to define devicename of 'C:', targetpath of '/' err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes unable to define devicename of 'I:', targetpath of '/media/cdrecorder' err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes unable to define devicename of 'J:', targetpath of '/media/fd0' err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes unable to define devicename of 'K:', targetpath of '/home/robert'
Trying wine install.exe anyway didn't work. Same arrors as above. I even tried c
wine install.exe
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\windows\system32" is not accessible. Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/media/QW05PRMR1B', starting in the Windows directory. wine: cannot open (null)
Somehow things worked much better for me with the original version of wine.
So, I guess I can't check if the problem still exists in this version of wine.
