Hi folks,
I just installed WINE for the first time and had some trouble getting dlls to load until I set the "system" option to my Win2k partition's system32 directory in wine.conf. Auto discovery of the proper system directory for wine.conf by wineinstall seems like a useful thing for new users. Would it be useful if I put together a small patch to the wineconf program so that running wineinstall will select the right system directory for configuration?
Why not ? ;-)
Also, is it correct to assume that if a system32 subdirectory exists under the winnt or windows directory that it should be set given preference in wine.conf as the system directory?
I'm afraid that's not the case.
Win9x might have a system32 directory (I think it often has), but nearly always it's pretty empty.
