Hi,
WTH.. how is it getting this? something is wrong before this.
Get rid of you old config file (rename it junk or something) and rerun ./tools/wineinstall. I would like to see the full log of this.
OK:
Created /home/now3d/.wine/config using default Wine configuration. You probably want to review the file, though.
Compiling regedit... make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Preparing to install default Wine registry entries... Installing default Wine registry entries...
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A: Could not stat /cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive D:
From "config"
[Drive A] "Path" = "/mnt/fd0" "Type" = "floppy" "Label" = "Floppy" "Filesystem" = "win95" "Serial" = "87654321" "Device" = "/dev/fd0"
[Drive D] "Path" = "/cdrom" "Type" = "cdrom" "Label" = "CD-Rom" "Filesystem" = "win95" ; make sure that device is correct and has proper permissions ! "Device" = "/dev/cdrom"
Seems strange that although it said it was ignoring A: and D: it added them anyway.
No No No. "The default config file contains has the floppy located at /mnt/fd0 (Where it actualy is depends on your distro) likewise for your CD-ROM. When tools/wineinstall starts up regedit to install the default registry it starts up wine. wine reads the config file and cannot find those directorys (since thats not where your CD-ROM and floppy are mounted) so it ignores them
ignoring drive C: Could not stat /cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive D: Invalid path L"c:\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file. This is (supposed to be) '/home/now3d/.wine/config' Registry install failed. ###
do you know what the "L" is in that text? I have seen it in other error messages but it seems strange... any ideas?
The "L" tells me that the string is "unicode" as opposed to "ASCII" As for why "L" I do not know.
