------- Additional Comments From xerox_xerox2000@yahoo.co.uk 2005-19-10 04:09 ------- Hi frank, i read your post on the user list: "1. I have BricsCAD for Linux installed and know that if I go for a clean install ( rpm -e wine then rpm -ivh wine~ ) this program gets uninstalled along the way and I lose all my user preferences - real bummer. ( I can not as yet track down what the preferences config file is nor whether or not overwriting the new installation with it will work.)
- I also have CrossOver standard 4.2 installed which enabled me to
install ( amongst others ) a program called PlanBee.
( PlanBee is the subject of the bug I've had with wine directly so not of major concern 'cause I will need to uninstall - reinstall PlanBee anyway to test for the bug.)
Q. I take it that I will lose all associations with these secondary installations by going for the clean installation so ask if there is a compatable alternative that will still ensure I get helpful info for the bug list ?"
I assume all your programs are installed in ~/.wine (please check) For testing you could just backup : mv ~/.wine ~/.wine_backup, update your wine package and test in a new created ./wine (just running "wine" will create this directory). This way you can always revert the changes you make by moving back your ~/.wine_backup. BTW As of july there's no config file anymore, you have to use winecfg to set eventual preferences.
Update of uninstalling 20050825 & installing 20050930
[frank@snapafun PlanBee]$ wine setup.exe fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x7bc99cd0 0x7babfce4) stub! fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_AUTOURLDETECT: stub fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc WM_SETFONT: stub fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_LIMITTEXT: stub fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_EXLIMITTEXT: stub
As you can see, no change here.
I did:
Uninstalled everything wine. [ Was version 20050825 (mdk)]
As user, ran cxoffice and uninstalled PlanBee
Installed wine20050930 & wine-debug20050930 also ( again, mdk rpms used )
Ran wincfg and stuck with the defaults.
Tried to install PlanBee [as above] ~ no success
Installed PlanBee from cxoffice successfully. ( Note: The error dialogue popped up at the beginning again but upon selecting " OK " to close it, the installation continued without a hitch. )
